Emulating older computers on microcontrollers has been a staple of retrocomputing for many years now, with most 8-bit and ...

Where code meets reality, embedded systems come at that intersection, demanding precision, efficiency, and careful planning.

I built a card reader interfaced with a LCD and Microcontroller. It displays the name of the person on the LCD to confirm identity when a card is inserted. It’s a simple prototype of card identifiers ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers, weaving computation ...

Raspberry Pi has introduced a successor to last year’s Pico, a $4 microcontroller based on the RP2040 chip the company designed itself. The new model is called the Pico W. It’s basically the same ...

Discover Arduino Uno Q, a hybrid Linux plus microcontroller board with four Cortex A53 cores, so you get precise control and ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

Frontgrade Technologies has developed a plastic-encapsulated version of its UT32M0R500 radiation-tolerant microcontroller aimed at space missions. Built around a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ core, the ...

The Raspberry Pi Pico 2 is an upgraded version of the original Pico microcontroller, featuring enhanced performance, increased memory, improved power efficiency, and new security features. It retains ...

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 ...
