Rocco Marco Guglielmi, an electrical engineering graduate from the University of Salerno, combines a solid foundation in theory with practical experience in embedded systems. He initiated PLAY Embedded to share knowledge, offering straightforward tutorials and articles on C and embedded systems that reflect his dedication to learning and teaching.
Rocco’s professional journey began at STMicroelectronics and has grown at Analog Devices, where he has contributed to projects involving GNSS applications and Battery Management Systems. His role as Field Technical Leader SW EMEA is characterized by a collaborative approach to problem-solving and system support at the organizational level.
With expertise in languages such as C, Assembly, Python, PHP, JS and more, Rocco’s technical skills serve as a backbone for his work. He has actively participated in the ChibiOS open-source community and values the importance of practical, hands-on experience in the rapidly evolving field of embedded systems.
Write reusable code is one of the most powerful and time-saving thing that an embedded programmer should learn. Compose well-arranged libraries makes things easiest, especially when we want to add old code in a new project. Citing one of the most talented programmers I have ever met, “Well done ...
The HD44780 is a controller for display developed by Hitachi commonly used to manage alphanumeric dot matrix LCD. This controller is a standard de-facto for this kind of display. It is often used in industrial test equipment, networking equipment, vending machine and in embedded ...
The DHT11 is a basic, low-cost digital temperature and humidity sensor. It uses a capacitive humidity sensor and a thermistor to measure the surrounding air, and spits out a digital signal on the data pin (no analog input pins needed).
The communication on data pin occurs according to a ...
By this article, we will show schematic of ChibiCube in order to understand how it works and hot it has been designed.
As mentioned in the previous article, ChibiCube addresses all its LEDs through the combination of anode and cathode signals. Each floor of the cube is configured as common ...
ChibiCube is a 3D LED matrix 8x8x8 composed by monochromatic LEDs individually addressable: that means not only every single LED could be in a ON or OFF state but everyone could be set at different light intensity.
In December 2012, students Ciro Domenico Pagano from University of Salerno, ...
