Microcontroller interrupts are one of the big tools in our embedded programming arsenal. They make the chip listen for particular events, and once detected they stop what they’re doing and run a ...

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

This version of tutorial board is based on the popular PIC16F84A microcontroller which consists of an in-circuit programming header (ICP) in order to program the microcontroller directly on board with ...

The 8051-compatible microcontrollers are equipped with up to two inputs that may be used as general-purpose interrupts. A simple way to increase the number of interrupt inputs is shown in the figure.

Those following the ProtoStack tutorials will be happy to hear that there is a new installment which explains Pulse Width Modulation. If you’ve never heard of PWM before, it’s a method of generating a ...
