Microchip has added more memory and 14 new programming instructions, including “C” efficiency optimisations to its mid-range 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. The MCUs now have program flash addressability ...

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of the ...

Prolific author Fred Eady has just published another book, “Master and Command C for PIC MCU,” Volume 1, which aims to help readers get the most out of the Custom Computer Services C (CCS) compiler ...

A lot of people disparage PIC microcontrollers but—as I now know to my cost—these little rascals have an addictive quality about them. They can make life incredibly easy with respect to prototyping ...

Functional programming is a programming style that is significantly different than imperative programming languages like C and C++. Functional programs tend to avoid mutable data like variable ...

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 ...
