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: ...

Microcontroller units (MCUs) are single-chip computers optimized for performing embedded computing tasks like controlling a ...

For those of us old enough to remember the beginnings of the microcomputer revolution, we can look back fondly on ‘the programming environment is the OS,’ a ton of BASIC programs, and typing in small ...

While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...
