Yet many engineers select motors based on popularity or habit rather than understanding the physics, electrical characteristics, and practical trade-offs of different technologies.https://toorun.dev/posts/communication-protocols-and-interfaces-explained-spi-i2c-uart-usart-can-ethernet-usb-rs232-rs485/Sun, 21 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000https://toorun.dev/posts/communication-protocols-and-interfaces-explained-spi-i2c-uart-usart-can-ethernet-usb-rs232-rs485/Communication Protocols and Interfaces Explained: SPI, I2C, UART, USART, CAN, Ethernet, USB, RS-232, RS-485 and More Modern electronic systems are distributed systems. Even a small product can include a microcontroller, sensors, power-management ICs, memory, a wireless module, and a gateway to cloud services. None of those blocks are useful in isolation. They must communicate. This guide is for engineers who want practical understanding, not only textbook definitions. You will find side-by-side protocol comparisons, real-world selection advice, interview questions, and production-focused best practices.https://toorun.dev/posts/s19-motorola-s-record-file-format-guide/Sat, 13 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000https://toorun.dev/posts/s19-motorola-s-record-file-format-guide/S19 File Format (Motorola S-Record): Complete Practical Guide for Embedded Firmware and Bootloaders Suggested title: S19 File Format (Motorola S-Record): Complete Practical Guide for Embedded Firmware and Bootloaders Suggested meta description: Understand the S19 file format used in embedded firmware updates and automotive ECU programming.
