A recent announcement from Micro Digital explained how the company's smx real-time operating system can do precise profiling of code operations. “… smx v4.1 solves this problem by using the clock ...
Why Buffer? Because buffers cut you some slack. Inevitably, in our recent series on microcontroller interrupts, the question of how to deal with actual serial data came up. In those examples, we were ...
Edge-triggered interrupts are useful in microcontroller (MCU) applications for processing asynchronous events like switch closures, level transitions, and pulses. However, low-cost MCUs offer limited ...
This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. In many applications, accurately sensing the position of an electrically controlled mechanical device such as a motor is critical.
