Sending data from a microcontroller to a PC usually requires some sort of serial connection, either through fiddly on-chip USB, FTDI chips, or expensive radio ICs. [Scott] didn’t want to deal with ...

As many as half of all embedded designs have an FPGA next to a microcontroller. The FPGA can be used to implement anything from glue logic, to custom IP, to accelerators for computationally intensive ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

The project illustrates the possibility of connecting any external device to microcontroller which may be for control input such as buttons, keypads, touch or for information output such as display, ...

With just a few components, you can provide a translated signal from industrial and PLD sensors that connects safely to a microcontroller, with the added bonus of supplying 7.5 mA of regulated power.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) consists of rod-shaped tiny molecules sandwiched between a flat piece of glass and an opaque substrate. These rod-shaped molecules in between the plates align into two ...

Direct sensor-to-microcontroller interface techniques enable the conversion of physical measurands into digital signals without dedicated analogue-to-digital converter chips or elaborate conditioning ...

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) describes how to easily link a USB flash drive to a simple, low cost microcontroller in an embedded design ...
