Atmel’s ATtiny10 is the one microcontroller in their portfolio that earns its name. It doesn’t have a lot of Flash – only 1 kilobyte. It doesn’t have a lot of RAM – only thirty two bytes. It is, ...

A new microcontroller has been added to the ever-growing Adafruit range of electronics this week, in the form of the new Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express microcontroller for CircuitPython and the Arduino ...

Segger Microcontroller has unveiled “emApps”, a software package for creating and executing apps, which are small programs ...

The PIC18F4580 microcontroller series has added four 8-bit CAN (controller-area-network) flash PIC microcontrollers. The devices include 16 and 32 kbytes of flash memory, withstanding more than ...

If you develop an application on a small microcontroller, your diagnostic tools for debugging of the program code might be very limited. This Design Idea introduces a simple debugging routine for ...

Electronic enthusiasts, hobbyists and makers looking for a small microcontroller based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 might be interested in a new board called StackyPi launched via Kickstarter this month ...

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 ...

Although Embedded Multitasking With Small Microcontrollers is not an exhaustive treatise on multitasking operating systems, it does a good job on the two areas it does address: state machines and ...

Many small microcontrollers require so little power that often they can draw what they need through their loads. This can simplify a system, reduce its cost, increase its reliability, and provide ...
