All of Microchip’s baseline PIC microcontrollers have internal 4-MHz oscillators, which are useful for freeing up one or two pins for I/O use and allowing you to build minimal-component-count designs ...

It’s generally pretty easy to spot a microcontroller on a PCB. There are clues aplenty: the more-or-less central location, the nearby crystal oscillator, the maze of supporting passives, and perhaps ...

Time is that precious, finite commodity that we are reluctant to watch, struggle to manage yet can ill afford to forget about. The usefulness of the innumerable electronic devices that assist us as we ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

[Paul] has been working on porting over Arduino libraries for use with the Teensy microcontroller platform. This tends to be pretty simple since they both use the same Atmel chip architecture. But ...
