[TriEmbed] [OBSOLETE trianglearduino:1093] Favorite H-Bridge chip

[Sai Saketh Divvela]

Hi all,

I am a graduate student in computer engineering at NCSU ,specializing in
chip design and embedded systems.I have attended last meeting on custom pcb
design conducted by Triembed group at NC state.I found the seminar very
informative and interesting .I would like to know if somebody could present
a seminar on RTOS in embedded systems in future.

Regards,
Sai Saketh
