With innumerable microcontroller boards on the market it’s sure that there will be one for every conceivable application or user. Among them are some seriously tiny ones, but this wasn’… ...

Geneva&#151An in-circuit emulator for the ST72561 family of 8-bit microcontrollers performs real-time emulation, debugging, and in-circuit programming while touting the emulator family's low-cost ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

Arduino boards are perhaps the world’s best known amateur microcontroller – cracker-sized circuit boards that cost about $30 and, say, govern the intake of information or the actions of a motor. They ...

Jitx coding screen where engineers describe what a circuit board will look like with code. Image Credits: Jitx The other important thing that Jitx does is make it simpler to test the design to ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 microcontroller. The computer features the new RP2040, which will also show up in other products, thanks to the foundation’s ...

Tired of loud TV ads? In 2012, Peter de Bruijn built the Mini-Mute — a clever circuit that let him mute his TV with a simple tap on the coffee table. Here's how it works.

2. The detailed circuit uses five standard transistors plus passive components to implement the one-pin battery-monitor solution. When the microcontroller decides it needs to know the battery ...

To program these chips, [Aaron] first had to wire up the microcontroller into a circuit. This was just a bit of perf board, a resistor, a few caps, and a USB A plug. That’s it, that’s all that ...
