Although this circuit connects the DS18S20 1-Wire temperature sensor to a Cypress CY8C26443 PSoC microcontroller, designers can easily adapt it to connect other 1-Wire devices to any microprocessor.

Students expressed creativity and ingenuity in the design of practical, microcontroller-based embedded systems for their final course projects.

He had previously created a simple communications system using his sound card that allowed him to send data to a microcontroller from his PC, but he thought that doing the same thing with light ...

Crime in general is still on the rise, and having a security alarm installed is no longer a perquisite of the wealthy! Here is a simple and compact security alarm system to protect your home/shop and ...

This Design Idea employs the Microchip PIC10F222 single-chip microcontroller. You program this microcontroller’s internal memory using the MCLR pin. As the title, “ Use the MCLR pin as an output with ...

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 microcontroller. The computer features the new RP2040, which will also show up in other products, thanks to the foundation’s ...

We know someone’s made a smaller blinky using a tiny microcontroller, but we’d love to see this tried with the BGA version of the chip which is only 1.4 mm on a side.

For this circuit to function properly, some microcontroller assistance is required. Periodically, the microcontroller must take temperature measurements to account for any ambient temperature changes.

When students at Cornell University wanted to play Human Tetris (and ace a final project to boot), they taught a 20Mhz, 8-bit microcontroller how to follow their moves.
