Summary
Sensors and analog front ends (AFE) are needed to provide applications with accurate real-world data. Integrating this into an application can be a challenge given all the components involved.
In this webinar a smart thermostat will be used as an example to highlight the integration of multiple Renesas components – sensors, MCU and wireless modules – to build an electronic system. We'll discuss the sensor features and showcase the effectiveness of Renasas Quick Connect Studio, a powerful tool for rapidly prototyping software and hardware.
You can try out Renasas Quick Connect Studio online.
