On the lower end of the performance spectrum, many widely available and inexpensive microcontrollers pay for their small pc-board footprints by omitting functions. For example, most low-end processors ...

Microcontroller interrupts are one of the big tools in our embedded programming arsenal. They make the chip listen for particular events, and once detected they stop what they’re doing and run a ...

Stepper motors are mostly used for precise motion control of structures or axes for a distance. But what happens if we want to control time? We can answer this question with the bare motor rotation, ...
