I Sing the Body Electric

Microchip has just rolled out BodyCom, a new way to do wireless nwtworking using your own body as the antenna. This is a body-area network, meaning it connects things you’re wearing — or at least, touching. That makes it useful for sensors and displays, for example, but not for beaming music to a remote speaker. Microschip’s got all the documentation, software, and development kits here. http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/technology/embeddedsecurity/technology/bodycom.html.

BMV080: World’s Smallest Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Liaisan Khismatova from Bosch Sensortec and I explore the benefits of the Bosch BMV080, the world’s smallest particulate matter (PM) sensor. They also investigate the fanless innovation at the heart of the BMV080 Particulate Matter Sensor and how the silent and maintenance-free operation and ultra-compact size of this sensor makes it a game changer for next generation air quality monitoring applications.
