NXP Semiconductors N.V. has released its new version of integrated development environment for programming its ARM Cortex-based microcontrollers called LPC series. The new version LPCXpresso 6 ...

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of the ...

An increasing number of vendors offer 32-bit microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex®-M processors, and at the same time, there are also new development environments introduced for these microcontroller ...

The microcontroller’s CPU reads program code from memory, one instruction at a time, decodes each instruction, and then executes it. All memory content—both program code and data—is in binary form: ...

We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

The AVR 8-bit microcontroller's modified Harvard architecture was introduced in 1997. These Atmel microcontrollers are popular among a reasonably large number of developers because they provide decent ...

Developers using Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's M16C microcontroller can now use Embedded C++ (EC++), courtesy of Tasking's M16C Software Development Toolset V2.1. The compiler in the toolset ...
