Overview   Since 1996 in EU and since 2000 in Europe, the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) is mandatory for all the cars manufactured. This protocol is used to verify the smoke emissions and check if any car is between the parameters stablished in every country. Also detect engine failures without need to check the engine manually, identifying accurately the problems reducing the repairing time and cost. OBD-II is a sort of computer which monitors emissions, mileage, speed, and other useful data. OBD-II is connected to the check engine light, which illuminates when the system detects a problem. Scan tools can be used to make sense of the diagnostic trouble codes and collect data on other aspects of vehicle’s performance.   Use Cases Hotspot in the CAR Geofences and speed limits Driving habits tracking Insurance and Rental Entertainment   Block Diagram   Products Category Name MCU Product URL 1 MIMXRT1050-EVK: i.MX RT1050 Evaluation Kit Product Description 1 The i.MX RT1050 EVK is a 4-layer through-hole USB-powered PCB.

Overview   RFID enhances theft protection by giving each animal a unique, encrypted identification. Meat industry stakeholders can improve disease control by storing and updating vaccination and movement data directly into each animal’s chip, or by correlating the identification number with this information in the backend system. Such traceability ensures consumers healthy and tasty meat, with clear proof of origin. The ability to track livestock and their movements allows governments to trace what occurs in the supply chain, and to tax each player appropriately. In the case of disease outbreaks, the technology makes it possible to identify which flocks have been affected, which helps to avoid unnecessary waste. Application Benefits of RFID Livestock Management   Provides proof of origin Verifies age and supports disease control Automates handling at farm and auction house Provides theft protection Supports storage and updating of vaccination and movement data   RFID Features Beneficial to Application Permanent identification No line-of-sight requirement Simultaneous multiple identification Robust and suitable for harsh environments Compliance with government mandates   Recommended Products   RFID Link HITAG 2 transponder IC HT2x | NXP  HITAG µ / Advanced / Advanced+ HTMS1x01 HTMS8x01 | NXP

Description Earlier this year NXP organized a promotional opportunity for amateur radio enthusiasts to use their creativity and build their own power amplifier designs. NXP received numerous creative submissions in this competitive Homebrew RF Design Challenge. We appreciate the dedication and enthusiasm from the community that made this contest a success. First place winner An MRF101AN broadband amplifier design with 1 W Input, 100 W Output 1.8-54 MHZ Amplifier deck. (For more information visit:NXP MRF-101 - RFPowerTools )  It is an amplifier with a bandwidth of 1.8MHz to 54MHz. Maximum output power of 100W up to 30MHz and 70W up to 50MHz. Maximum power supply 50V to 4A, with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio of 1.5:1 maximum. The design dimensions of the PCB is 5x5 cm (2x2 in). and 310g weight including fan and heat sink. Second place winner A 600W broadband HF amplifier using affordable LDMOS devices (For more information visit: https://qrpblog.com/2019/10/a-600w-broadband-hf-amplifier-using-affordable-ldmos-devices/  ) This project is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of the MRF300 transistors as linear broadband devices in the 2-50MHz range and to be used by radio amateurs as a starting point for a medium-high power amplifier. This is also my entry to the NXP Homebrew RF Design Challenge 2019. To achieve the target of 600W output while also minimizing the level of even-number harmonics, a “push-pull” configuration of two transistors is used. Luckily, the manufacturer made it easy to design the PCB layout for such a thing by offering two versions (the MRF300AN & MRF300BN) that have mirrored pinout. The common TO-247 package is used, with the source connected to the tab. Each individual MRF300 LDMOS transistor is specified at 330W output over a 1.8-250MHz working frequency range, a maximum 28dB of gain and over 70% efficiency. The recommended supply range is 30-50Vdc. By studying the specifications, it looks like with correct broadband matching and some operational safety margin we can get close to 600W output at a voltage of around 45V across a resonably large bandwidth; the aim is to cover 1.8 to 54MHz. Main challenges when designing this amplifier are related to achieving good input and output matching over the entire frequency range as well as maintaining high and flat gain. Good linearity and a low level of harmonic products are mandatory. As the TO-247 is not a package specifically designed for high-power RF, there are some challenges with thermal design and PCB layout as well. Information taken from the essay by the winner. Third place winner A High Efficiency Switchmode RF Amplifier using a MRF101AN LDMOS Device for a CubeSat Plasma Thruster (For more information visit: Research - SuperLab@Stanford ) The Class E amplifier utilizes the active device as a switch, operating in only cutoff (off) and saturated (on) conditions. This minimizes the overlap of voltage and current, reducing losses in the active device. To further reduce loss the Class E amplifier utilizes an inductively tuned resonant network to achieve zero voltage switching, bringing the voltage across the switch to zero before turn on, eliminating energy stored in the output capacitance of the active device that would otherwise be dissipated. This is achieved with an inductively tuned series resonant output filter.  In the Class E amplifier losses are almost entirely determined by the current conducted by the active device so a high drain impedance is desired to maximize efficiency. The drain impedance is ultimately limited by the voltage rating of the switch. For our desired output power of 40W and the maximum voltage rating of 133V for the MRF101AN this impedance is still less than 50 ohms, so a L match circuit is used to match the drain impedance to 50 ohms. The load network in our design provides a drain impedance of 15.4+12.8j. As the MRF101AN will operate in saturation a high drive level is desired. To eliminate the need for a preamplifier and allow for digital control, we use a high speed gate drive chip typically used in switch-mode power supplies, LMG1020, to drive the MRF101AN instead of a RF preamplifier. A resonant network is used to provide voltage gain at the fundamental and third harmonic, providing a quasi-square wave on the gate which helps insure the device remains in saturation. Conclusion It was a close call and highly competitive! Each participant had their own creative, unique and impressive way of displaying the capabilities of these new parts. NXP is always up for new design challenges. Ready for the next challenge?

The base of the turret is pretty rudimentary, lot's of room for improvement here.  I used 1/2 MDF and some carpentry skills.  Here is some instruction on how to build a MDF box.  Atop the box is a lazy Susan (ball bearing ring) so that the top-plate can rotate smoothly.  We considered leaving this element out, but worried that it would put to much strain on the servo.   On the subject of servos, a few tidbits of wisdom for you as you build this thing.  First, the left/right servo needs to be dead center of the lazy susan, if your off too much things will start to bind which is not good for your servo.  Second, I used large higher torque servos which cost a bit more, they might be overkill, but it certainly performs well.   I did a quick dimensionally accurate rendering of the design in Sketchup. Files are here.   Hacking the Nerf   Now for the fun stuff.   There is no shortage of screws with this Nerf Gun.  So get out your Phillips screwdriver and go to town. There are two electrical systems in the Nerf that we are going to tap into.  One is the power switch and the other is the electrical trigger. This is the electrical trigger.  The trigger goes to our relay, which is either on or off.  We did try at first to use a 7.2V R/C car battery, but the Nerf draws too much power and didn't fire.  Going up to a 11.1V LiPo fixed that right up. This is the power switch. In Nerfinator 1.0 everything was hardwired together, which prevented us from completely pulling the Nerf from the base and made repairs difficult to say the least.  Nerfinator 2.0 we put this handy connector which allowed us to completely and easily remove the Nerf from the base.  Shipping this thing around the country will take a toll on it!  On that subject, Nerf 1.0, stopped cycling to the next position for us at the Austin Mini Maker Faire.  After a through inspection of the operational mechanics inside the Nerf (really cool BTW) it was a little bitty spring that was causing the piston not to fully retract.  We replaced the spring with 1/2 a ballpoint pin spring and to our surprise it all worked again. Electrical Connection Diagram   Added High-Level Block Diagram.  Need to add pinouts.  You'll have to read the code for now to figure it out.     Code   Mbed was the programming tool of choice for this build.   Receive Side (RX) - The receiver is the base side.  This one takes input from the remote and controls the servo movement.
