microcontroller projects

Those days are gone when there has been under numerous micro controller's to choose from. The simple truth is, choosing a controller for something different is extremely a frightening task which is way during the night scope need to know ,, but will probably be covered in greater detail in the future article. However choosing a microcontroller to 'play with' for that first project, might be a simpler as well as the tools (both software and hardware?) nowadays, are extremely cheap, otherwise, free!.... Formerly, emulators, designers etc use to cost thousands of dollars (what were they thinking?). Now you'll have the ability to finish track of affordable development tools. 10 years back I decided to select Microchip. Why?, well the fact they provided not only a free development atmosphere (MPLAB IDE), but furthermore lots of support using the forums and application notes online.

First Designed Calculator (Curta)

In our daily life we might face some situations that force us to make some mathematical calculations so we resort to a calculator whether of the cell phones or the computer for doing so .have you ever imagined how they were doing this before inventing the calculator Can you imagine the problems that could face those who work in the field of mathematical equations and the sum of the obstacles that was facing them without calculators and how scientists like ISSAN NEOTEN ,JOHANS KELLER and LORD KLEN could help the humanity with their inventions These equations may seem brilliant these days but have you ever thought of the effort that was exerted to do some calculations before inventing the calculator   Read the rest of this entry »
