White Papers
In-depth papers on building embedded products.
Longer-form technical papers, beyond what fits in a blog post, on the engineering decisions behind real products.
FPGA
FPGA vs Microcontrollers
FPGAs and microcontrollers are both essential to embedded systems, but they differ fundamentally in architecture, performance, and cost. A comparison across flexibility, development complexity, and use cases, with a real-world cheque scanner design as an example of using both together.

Innovating Vehicle Brake Lights: Adaptive Intensity and Concentric Ring Patterns for Safer Roads
A concept for a smarter vehicle brake light that adjusts brightness and lights up concentric rings based on how hard the vehicle is decelerating, using an accelerometer and an automotive MCU to give trailing drivers a clearer, faster signal.
