The Interrupt community comprises engineers, hobbyists, and enthusiasts with a shared passion for hardware and firmware development. We come together to share best practices, problem-solve, collaborate on projects, advance the embedded community, and elevate device reliability engineering (DRE).

The Interrupt Community was created and is moderated today by the founders of Memfault.

  • Monitoring a Low-Power Wireless Network Based on Smart Mesh IP

    by Fabian Graf

    This blog post provides a practical tutorial demonstrating a simple APM solution for low-power devices. The solution leverages Zephyr RTOS on an nRF52, and SmartMesh IP on an Analog LTC5800 which can accommodate an arbitrary number of wireless motes. The motes can send a set of performance metrics at certain heartbeat intervals via a framework provided by Memfault. The framework is scalable and allows the creation of a customized group of metrics.
