The size of a circuit can be significantly reduced. This is because programming replaces physical components. They can be reprogrammed many times. This allows changes to be made without replacing ...

You youngins probably don’t remember this, but a few years ago there was an arms race on Kickstarter to create the smallest Arduino-compatible microcontroller board. Since then, a few people have ...

This is part of my college coursework in Microcontroller Programming, focusing on practical implementation of embedded systems using microcontrollers and various hardware components. These projects ...

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 ...
