He needed to upload this code with a common 16 MHz crystal – AVRDude simply won’t work when a chip is clocked at higher speeds. After successfully demonstrating his microcontroller will turn ...

Normally [Mike] used a set of LEDs to get information about how his microcontrollers work, but for this project that wasn’t enough. The uController Code Profiler can provide the main loop ...

Unlike SBCs, microcontrollers have a high learning curve ... you can download the specific code library for your sensor ...

In the current book chapter I cover microcontrollers by explaining a generic micro, using a block diagram and some simple examples of assembler code. I want to expand that to cover a popular 8-bit ...

announces the ULP Advisor software code analysis tool, which teaches developers how to create the most energy-efficient, ultra-low-power applications with TI’s MSP430 microcontrollers.

Opening the microcontroller world to browser-based code flashing and sharing along with Wi-Fi-enabled microcontrollers? Sounds like we’re moving closer to an open-programmable world.

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico, a tiny little microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects with some code running on the microcontroller. Even more interesting, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is ...

This Design Idea is for low-end, eight-pin, flash-memory, 8-bit microcontrollers, such as the MC68HC908QT4A from Freescale, but it would apply to any 8-bit microcontrollers that use the ADC feature.

To help easily incorporate this functionality into embedded systems, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) has launched the AVR ® DU family of microcontrollers (MCUs). As the next generation of ...

A group of Boulder-area educators will learn to program a micro:bit on Saturday. The inexpensive, pocket-sized, easy-to-code microcontroller can be put used is a wide variety of contexts, from robots ...
