One of the fun things about “old school” computers is that it was fairly easy to get kids into programming them. The old Basic interpreters were pretty forgiving, and you could do some clever things ...

Microchip Technology Inc., and Source Electronics Corp., have developed an automated high-volume programming service for customers utilizing Microchip's PIC10F family of microcontrollers in 6-pin, SOT ...

We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

Developers using Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's M16C microcontroller can now use Embedded C++ (EC++), courtesy of Tasking's M16C Software Development Toolset V2.1. The compiler in the toolset ...

Microchip’s 16-bit dsPIC and PIC24 fit in the class of digital signal controllers. They were designed to support C so it is not surprising that Lucio Di Jasio chose to highlight PIC24 in C or that the ...

Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...
