While regular Hackaday readers already know how to blink a LED with a microcontroller and have moved onto slightly more challenging projects such as solving the Navier-Stokes equations in 6502 ...

Many microcontrollers have built-in ADCs (analog-to-digital converters), which means you can use a single device to both digitize analog signals and manipulate the results. Once the ADC digitizes a ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

For a number of reasons, including cost, embedded microprocessors have been required to take on tasks for which they are not always well suited. Frequent interruptions from the outside world is one ...
