Mark Furland | Tony Lawrence | Rich Rarey During field testing in Tome’s Bicycle-to-Vehicle (B2V) safety project, we often generate megabytes of real-time data from bicycles, scooters, pedestrians, and […]
Virtual team building is tough. If the event is too long, people may find it a chore to join. Too infrequent, and people may not participate at all. So how […]
In today’s lab experiment I revisit the topic of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) with Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These high-speed and flexible computing fabrics allow for processing in which […]
Pigweed is a mix of libraries and build system for embedded development. The thing that initially sold me on wanting to try it was automatically running tests on embedded devices. […]
It’s often entertaining to browse the sprawling Bluetooth Core Specification document, published by the Bluetooth SIG because, while complex, it is well written and provides insight to why things are […]
As we celebrate quick, loud failure at Tome, with a physical “Fail Brick” that’s passed around the office, I thought it would be appropriate to start 2021 with a brief […]
A few weeks ago, I collaborated with some co-workers to build 12 Balanced Mode Radiator speakers. We chose BMR speakers as they have a wide dispersion pattern without the artifacts […]
On my latest project here at Tome, I have been learning the ropes of the amazing Vue framework. It’s been a joy to learn and work with. But like all […]
For my Lab Day project, I worked on implementing speech recognition in a fully offline mode. This would detect a wakeword followed by a limited set of words for which […]
In an attempt to create a simple application to run across multiple platforms with minimum coding effort, I ended up finding the Kivy framework. Kivy is open source Python library […]
