[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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new project called LEMPA or the LEan Mean Programming mAchine, created by developer Roey Benamotz. This innovative project features a custom PCB that ...

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 ...

In last week's installment, we showed how to get started with Csound. This week we take it to the next step by constructing a homemade MIDI controller circuit and use the new device to control Csound ...

SEGGER introduces embedded software, Flasher BitStreamer, that further expands the programming capabilities of its ...

In this article, I'll be explaining the basics of how microcontrollers work, physically and virtually. First off, microcontrollers are no simple thing, so don't be discouraged if you find it ...

Using Flasher BitStreamer, SEGGER Flashers can now program not only microcontrollers and (Q)SPI flashes, but also a broad ...
