How microcontrollers and single-board computers coordinate high-speed RF acquisition and generation. How SCPI and UART commands let simple controllers use advanced measurements without FPGA ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you have an interest in electronics and have been hanging around DIY tech forums for a while now, chances are you already know what an ...

This guide is written for developers who wish to start programming microcontrollers using a GCC compiler and a datasheet, without using any framework. This guide explains the fundamentals, and helps ...

Zig is a popular systems-oriented language that is serious about replacing C. Here's what you need to know about Zig. The Zig programming language continues its gradual advance into the world of ...

In the last several posts, we’ve started to explore Embedded Rust. You’ve seen that the Cortex-M QuickStart Template is a great place to start. A generic template, though, isn’t going to help you ...

Yes, you can program Arduino with Python using the PyFirmata library. While Arduino traditionally uses C++ code, Python can control Arduino boards through the Firmata protocol, allowing you to ...

I am always interested in real-time operating systems (RTOS) for microcontrollers (MCUs) with my past backgrounds in µC/OS-II, mbed, and FreeRTOS. When the opportunity arose to get my hands on the ...

Why security for microcontrollers is important. What security solutions are available for microcontrollers. What questions to ask when considering a security solution. Click here for Part 2.

There are only a few weeks left until Hackaday Europe takes place in Berlin on April 13th and 14th. With only one full day of programming, we simply can’t run as many workshops as we do at Supercon, ...

The following project is an update of Gary D. Patterson’s “Simplified CTC signals” in the July 1988 issue of MR. Bringing the project up to date was a large endeavour. The block control project now ...

When working on a project, plenty of us will reach for an Atmel microcontroller because of the widespread prevalence of the Arduino platform. A few hackers would opt for a bit more modern part like an ...
