[Maris] wanted a way to read measurements from a digital caliper electronically. He ended up using the TI Launchpad to accomplish this, but not all of the necessary hardware is seen above. The ...

A lot of making goes on in this community these days, but sometimes you’ve just gotta do some old fashioned hacking. You might have grabbed an old Speak and Spell that you want to repurpose ...

The circuit in this Design Idea provides a way to convey mixed analog and digital inputs into a microcontroller using one input pin. The output of the circuit connects to a micro-controller's ...

There are several ways to readmultiple switch inputs using areduced number of microcontroller-unit(MCU) pins. For example, you can usean analog MCU pin to read multipleswitches by assigning a unique ...

Microcontroller port pins can typically be driven either high or low, or else be put into an "input" or high-impedance state. This circuit uses the three states to drive two separate LEDs with one ...

Meet the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, a tiny board designed around a microcontroller that lets you build hardware projects at scale. Raspberry Pi is once again using the RP2350, its own well-documented ...

Microcontrollers contain a broad range of features due to the numerous end-use markets they address. Typical microcontrollers come in 8-, 16-, and 32-bit versions and commonly are used in consumer, ...
