Atmel’s ATtiny10 is the one microcontroller in their portfolio that earns its name. It doesn’t have a lot of Flash – only 1 kilobyte. It doesn’t have a lot of RAM – only thirty two bytes. It is, ...

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 ...

Segger Microcontroller has unveiled “emApps”, a software package for creating and executing apps, which are small programs that can be dynamically loaded and executed in a sandbox environment. Host ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although Embedded Multitasking With Small Microcontrollers is not an exhaustive treatise on multitasking operating systems, it does a good job on the two areas it does address: state machines and ...

Many small microcontrollers require so little power that often they can draw what they need through their loads. This can simplify a system, reduce its cost, increase its reliability, and provide ...
