We used to need SBCs for these projects; modern microcontrollers handle them more easily and inexpensively while being easier ...

If you develop an application on a small microcontroller, your diagnostic tools for debugging of the program code might be very limited. This Design Idea introduces a simple debugging routine for ...

It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps ...

From Caesar ciphers to AES and RSA, Practical Microcontroller Cryptography shows how cryptography actually runs on ...

A new microcontroller has been added to the ever-growing Adafruit range of electronics this week, in the form of the new Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express microcontroller for CircuitPython and the Arduino ...

While the ATMega328 is “mega” for a microcontroller, it’s still a fairly limited platform. It has plenty of I/O and working memory for most tasks, but this Battleship game that [thorlancaster328] has ...

The PIC18F4580 microcontroller series has added four 8-bit CAN (controller-area-network) flash PIC microcontrollers. The devices include 16 and 32 kbytes of flash memory, withstanding more than ...

Electronic enthusiasts, hobbyists and makers looking for a small microcontroller based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 might be interested in a new board called StackyPi launched via Kickstarter this month ...

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 ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

Vendors of 32-bit microcontrollers were out in force at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose in April. So were real-time operating-system (RTOS) vendors eyeing this lucrative platform. Linux ...
