When designing a system, one of the most important design decisions is choosing what voltage domain(s) to use. Some voltage domains, such as 5 V, are good for noisy and harsh operating environments ...

Imagine a display where every single pixel has its own brain. That's the ambitious idea creator bitluni set out to bring to ...

How to implement a microcontroller to monitor ac-motor speed. Steps taken to test and register the pulses detected for each motor. When you need to monitor the speed of ac motors to achieve ...

Abstract: Stellaris® LM3S microcontrollers are highly integrated system-on-chip (SOC) devices with extensive interface and processing capabilities. Consequently, there are many factors to consider ...

While microcontroller specs may be the first thing engineers look at when deciding on a device for their system, the ecosystem that surrounds the microcontroller is certainly very important, and ...

The embedded world is constantly changing. You might not have noticed, but if you take a minute to recall what a microcontroller system was like 10 years ago and compare it to today's latest ...

This project pairs a set of 8-bit microcontrollers with a 433-MHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band transmitter/receiver. The FS1000A RF transmitter has a range of up to 200 m; the ...
