Real time operating system (commonly called as RTOS) is a software stack responsible for managing the workload and resources in embedded systems. The core of a microcontroller can execute only one task/ thread at a time, and given the capacity of modern days microcontroller, it would not be use of it’s full potential if theyContinue reading “Real Time Operating Systems”

IDE (Integrated development environment) is a software development platform which provides all the necessary tools to developers for software development. A typical IDE consists of a source code editor, build system, compiler/ interpreter, debugger, uploader and serial monitor. Arduino IDE is a commonly used IDE among hobbyists, tinkerers and researchers[1]. The IDE is simple tooContinue reading “Toolchain of Arduino IDE for embedded systems”

Musical haptics is an emerging interdisciplinary field incorporating touch and proprioception in music scenarios from the perspectives of haptic engineering, human–computer interaction (HCI), applied psychology, musical acoustics, aesthetics, and music performance. According to [1], whenever an acoustic or electroacoustic musical instrument produces sound, that comes from its vibrating components (e.g., the reed and air columnContinue reading “Musical Haptics-I”

The way we perceive the world around us is dependent upon the senses inherited. Humans are blessed with five primary senses: Touch, olfactory sense, taste, hearing and vision. For all these primary senses, there is a dedicated portion in brain which works as processing unit and they have a receptor organ. Vision has most ofContinue reading “How haptic Augmentation is improving the umwelt?”
