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.

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 ...

Many microcontroller units include an internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC). For instance, most of Motorola's M68HC11 family members have an analog-to-digital subsystem, ...

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 ...

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.

In this paper, a simple cryptography algorithm for microcontroller was proposed for data (text) encryption and decryption. This algorithm can encrypt text (8 characters) with 8 key characters.
