This project is a machine-code monitor that you program from a hexadecimal keypad using a simplified instruction set. by David Johnson-Davies It's a good project for learning about the fundamentals of machine code, and will also appeal to people who like programming challenges. The...
Continue ReadingAn introduction to GPIO Settings
Working with microcontrollers means managing GPIO pins at some point. Many configurations have been developed for modern microcontrollers which can lead to some “fancy” terms that may confuse programmers. Its important to understand all of this to avoid confusion and errors while...

Real-time control systems usually are closed-loop control systems where one has a tight time window to gather data, process that data, and update the system. If the time window is missed, then the stability of the system is degraded. This reduced control can be catastrophic to some...
