Normally, if you want to blast out samples to a DAC in a hurry, you’d rely on an FPGA, what with their penchant for doing things very quicky and in parallel. However, [Anabit] figured out a ...

Emulating older computers on microcontrollers has been a staple of retrocomputing for many years now, with most 8-bit and some 16-bit machines available on Atmel, ARM, or ESP32 platforms. But ...

If you are interested in learning more about the history of the iconic Arduino UNO microcontroller you are sure to be interested in the new article published this month to the official Arduino blog ...

Selecting the right microcontroller for a product can be a daunting task. Not only are there a number of technical features to consider, there are also business case issues such as cost and lead-times ...

With just a few components, you can provide a translated signal from industrial and PLD sensors that connects safely to a microcontroller, with the added bonus of supplying 7.5 mA of regulated power.

Raspberry Pi has introduced a successor to last year’s Pico, a $4 microcontroller based on the RP2040 chip the company designed itself. The new model is called the Pico W. It’s basically the same ...

In its introductory blog post, the company explains that today’s Raspberry Pis are already often used alongside a smaller microcontroller: The Raspberry Pi takes care of heavyweight computation, ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

Industrial-control applications often use PLCs (programmable-logic controllers) working at logic levels of 24V. That voltage creates a challenge to the safe use of a microcontroller. Such a design ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...
