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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

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 ...

Microcontrollers are small, no one is arguing that. On a silicon wafer the size of a grain of rice, you can connect a GPS tracker to the Internet. Put that in a package, and you can put the Internet ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

There are currently around 600 programming languages to choose from, so picking the one that’s right for you can be pretty difficult. But if you’re looking for a language that’s incredibly popular, ...
