The new Stepping A4 of the RP2350 microcontroller introduced a year ago corrects some errors. The Raspi makers invite you to hack again.
The Padauk PMS150C is a terrible microcontroller. There are only six pins, there’s only one kiloword of Flash, 64 bytes of RAM, and it doesn’t do multiplication. You can only write code… ...
Choosing a microcontroller is a matter of convenience, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are dozens of different ARM cores alone, hundreds of 8051 clones, and weirder stuff including the ...
Adafruit has created a dev board for the Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller that can drive a DVI display, handle a keyboard, ...
This microcontroller lets you challenge a dog to chess (technically) As spotted by Hackaday, a tinkerer called Folkert van Heusden created a microcontroller that plays chess online.
If you thought the Raspberry Pi's chip was dinky, well, get a load of the nattily named Texas Instruments MSPM0C1104, said to the world's smallest microcontroller or MCU and measuring a mere 1.38 ...
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 microcontroller. The computer features the new RP2040, which will also show up in other products, thanks to the foundation’s ...
The MLX90392 magnetometer communicates with the microcontroller over I 2 C at 1.8 V. Normally, this would require an external level shifter, but since the MVIO is available on the microcontroller, no ...
Microcontroller applications often have low-level sensor signals and moderate power-drive circuitry, in addition to the microcontrollers. A peaceful coexistence with these three extremes requires a ...
1. This circuit, based on a PIC microcontroller with a few added components, converts a sensor-based voltage into a 4- to 20-mA current loop. Shown is the circuit as originally drawn on a whiteboard.
