After the electromechanical timer on [Paul Canello’s] washing machine broke for the third time he decided he needed to stop repairing it and find a more permanent fix. He decided to build his own ...
The need for timing in embedded programming often exceeds the small number of available hardware timers in microcontrollers. For example, the Microchip PIC16F84A has one timer, but you can create as ...
The device makes use of a PIC16F84 microcontroller in order to create a kitchen timer that may be used to time spaghetti or an egg. The device makes use of a PIC16F84 microcontroller in order to ...
In life and embedded systems timing is everything. Give [Frank’s] web-based timer calculator a try. Set your system clock resolution (in hertz making sure you account for any system clock divider), ...
Adding to the tinyAVR microcontroller family, the 20-pin ATtiny261, ATtiny461, and ATtiny861 pair 2 KB, 4 KB, and 8 KB of flash memory, respectively, with high-speed timers. Each operates at 20 MHz ...
How to set up an PIC microcontroller to deliver high-precision frequencies from 1 Hz to 4 MHz. Examples of the frequencies delivered by this microcontroller design. In timing applications, a time-base ...
