By repeatedly taking the microcontroller through a couple of freeze-thaw cycles, [Edward] was able to calibrate this watchdog timer to a resolution of about 0.0025°C, which is more than enough ...

I'll be focusing more on I/O and analog based microcontrollers, such as those running Arduino, and using Atmel chips as examples (these are most commonly available, and easy to program).

Arduino is the go to board for most folks looking for an introduction to microcontrollers. That's largely thanks to its sizable community, ease of use and surprising versatility. But, there is one ...

Microcontrollers in industrial applications are frequently used to manage almost simple circuits dedicated to a single task. We might think that an AVR microcontroller – e.g. the ATMega328p adopted by ...

Intel's Curie-based Arduino 101 Programmable Microcontroller development board goes under the microscope today to see exactly what it brings to the table.

The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller and developed by Arduino.cc.

As we discussed in my previous column, until a few weeks ago, the Arduino Uno microcontroller development board we’ve all grown to know and love was the R3 (“Revision 3”). This little rascal is ...

GeekDad's very own John Baicthal has joined Matthew Beckler and Adam Wolf (co-founders of Wayne and Layne) to release Make: Lego and Arduino Projects. Just like the other Make: books, it's a high ...
