He had previously created a simple communications system using his sound card that allowed him to send data to a microcontroller from his PC, but he thought that doing the same thing with light ...

This Design Idea employs the Microchip PIC10F222 single-chip microcontroller. You program this microcontroller’s internal memory using the MCLR pin. As the title, “ Use the MCLR pin as an output with ...

We know someone’s made a smaller blinky using a tiny microcontroller, but we’d love to see this tried with the BGA version of the chip which is only 1.4 mm on a side.

Crime in general is still on the rise, and having a security alarm installed is no longer a perquisite of the wealthy! Here is a simple and compact security alarm system to protect your home/shop and ...

Although this circuit connects the DS18S20 1-Wire temperature sensor to a Cypress CY8C26443 PSoC microcontroller, designers can easily adapt it to connect other 1-Wire devices to any microprocessor.

For this circuit to function properly, some microcontroller assistance is required. Periodically, the microcontroller must take temperature measurements to account for any ambient temperature changes.

The Arduino team, known for providing various electronic and microcontroller components for do-it-yourself electronic hobbyists since 2005, has announced its new product, the Plug and Make Kit.

When students at Cornell University wanted to play Human Tetris (and ace a final project to boot), they taught a 20Mhz, 8-bit microcontroller how to follow their moves.
