[Sergey Lyubka] put together this epic guide for bare-metal microcontroller programming. While the general concepts should be applicable to most any microcontroller, [Sergey]s examples specifically ...

Just like a PC’s USB port, the serial port on a PC can also in some cases serve as a power supply. A USB port can provide as much as 500 mA at 5V, but a serial port provides less power. Even with the ...

As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

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 ...

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...

The size of a circuit can be significantly reduced. This is because programming replaces physical components. They can be reprogrammed many times. This allows changes to be made without replacing ...

A microprocessor is an integrated circuit that contains no memory. A microcontroller has the ability to store information. The size of a circuit can be significantly reduced. This is because ...
