Developers using Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's M16C microcontroller can now use Embedded C++ (EC++), courtesy of Tasking's M16C Software Development Toolset V2.1. The compiler in the toolset ...

Inside any electronic device, from an old television remote to a global positioning system, there will be at least one microcontroller unit (MCU) and, in many cases, several. MCUs are used in ...

Microchip Technology has introduced the MPLAB PICkit Basic, an affordable and versatile in-circuit debugger designed to simplify programming and debugging for engineers, hobbyists, and students. The ...

A new embedded controller platform, known as FIVE, is said to seamlessly integrate the benefits of microcontrollers with a dedicated architecture, the Decision Processor, that is oriented to ...

Sometimes when you’re making a PCB that you plan on programming over USB, but you only plan on plugging in a couple of times, it would be nice to make that connection without another BOM ...

Filtering occurs frequently in the analog world. Unfortunately, in the digital world, engineers apply it mainly to the DSPs (digital-signal processors) and not to the small 8-bit microcontrollers that ...

We confess. When starting a microcontroller project, we often start with the last one we did for that environment, copy it, and just make changes. And the first one? It — ahem — might have been found ...
