Book Abstract: This book provides a thorough introduction to the Texas Instruments MPS430 microcontroller. The MPS430 is a 16-bit reduced instruction set (RISC) processor that features ultra low power ...

Microcontrollers existed before the Arduino, and a device that anyone could program and blink an LED existed before the first Maker Faire. This might come as a surprise to some, but for others PICs ...

We live in a world surrounded by electronic devices, and microcontrollers are the brains of these devices. Microcontroller programming is an essential skill in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), ...

You would like to give microcontroller programming a go but you think that the tools are too complicated or too expensive? Then you should order our new book PIC Microcontroller Programming. Not only ...

When creating microcontroller firmware, you often need to work with data arrays. Tables make easy work of data arrays, such as those for digital-code transformation, correction for sensor linearity, ...

Imagine you’re stuck on a desert island, hundreds of miles away from the nearest person, and you finally have time to finish that project you’re working on. You have a single microcontroller, but ...

I am in the process of updating my book "Electronics Explained," published by Newnes/Elsevier. The book is essentially a basic electronics text for those learning about electronics for the first time.
