Interrupts are the name of the game for more functional microcontroller firmware. [Rajendra] just posted a tutorial covering all of the interrupt types for the PIC 16F688 microcontroller. He gives an ...

The intel 8051 series 8bit microcontroller, originally introduced in 1980, remains popular and has had perhaps the longest product life of all such devices. It has become the industry standard for ...

As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

Edge-triggered interrupts are useful in microcontroller (MCU) applications for processing asynchronous events like switch closures, level transitions, and pulses. However, low-cost MCUs offer limited ...

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 ...

What’s the biggest difference between writing code for your big computer and a microcontroller? OK, the memory and limited resources, sure. But we were thinking more about the need to directly ...
