[Joao] needed a way to program one of these microcontrollers and came up with an easy method using only a USB/UART adapter. The key to this build is the fact the LPC810 doesn’t need any ...

If you want to try a Scratch-inspired take on microcontroller programming, check out MicroBlocks. It will work with several common boards, including the micro:bit and the Raspberry Pi Pico.

You should consider factors such as cost, availability, performance, memory, power consumption, peripherals, and programming language when choosing a microcontroller. You can also look for online ...

You also need to consider the availability of documentation, libraries, and support for the microcontroller you choose. The next step is to set up the hardware for programming the microcontroller.

All microcontrollers (MCUs) require some sort of mechanism to program them, even if they only get programmed once. Typically, program code is written on a host ...

If you want to try microcontroller programming but think the tools are too complicated or too expensive you should order Elektor’s new book PIC Microcontroller Programming. The book shows you how to ...

A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

When creating microcontroller firmware, you often need to work with data arrays. Tables make easy work of data arrays, such as those for digital-code transformation, correction for sensor linearity, ...

Step 1: Configuring Arduino Uno as an ISP: Since ATtiny85 is just a microcontroller, it requires an ISP (In-System Programming) to be programmed. So to program the ATtiny85, we need to first configure ...

so that we can directly plugin and program it like other microcontroller boards. Atmel's ATtiny85 is a high performance, low power 8-bit microcontroller based on Advanced RISC Architecture. This ...
