Iteration 1 overview Iteration 1 was mainly about extending our software platform which we call Simple Platform Abstraction. This platform enables us to easily experiment with new hardware (sensors, mosfets etc.) and will be the fundament of our energy harvester application. See the pictures for some recent hardware hacking! The software platform evolved quite a bit. We […]

System safety: hazard analysis
Introduction The goal of each system is to perform its intended function. Easier said than done in an imperfect world, and that is what this article is about: how to design a system in such a way that the probability of hazard exposure is acceptably low. The presented techniques are well-known in the world of […]
