In our last session we looked at the basic structure and operation of a microcontroller (MCU). Now let’s look at some of the hardware (peripheral circuitry) required to support the microprocessor. In ...

The microcontroller’s CPU reads program code from memory, one instruction at a time, decodes each instruction, and then executes it. All memory content—both program code and data—is in binary form: ...

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of the ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

This site provides historical information for Purdue University Courses taken between 1970-2008. Complete course descriptions are available for most courses taken from 2001 to Spring of 2008. If the ...

The Arduino Esplora is a ready-to-use, easy-to-hold controller that lets you explore the infinite possibilities you have in the world of Arduino, without having to deal with breadboards or soldering.

Welcome to The Zephyr* RTOS with the Intel® Quark™ microcontroller D2000! Intel is now building embedded microcontrollers. They’ve taken the Pentium® processor and taken it down to microcontroller ...

ARM’s range of Cortex-A processors power a bewildering range of devices from Single Board Computers, like the Raspberry Pi 2, to massive servers like HP’s Moonshot servers. You also find them in ...
