NXP Semiconductors N.V. has released its new version of integrated development environment for programming its ARM Cortex-based microcontrollers called LPC series. The new version LPCXpresso 6 ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

An increasing number of vendors offer 32-bit microcontrollers based on ARM® Cortex®-M processors, and at the same time, there are also new development environments introduced for these microcontroller ...

Developers using Mitsubishi Electric & Electronics USA's M16C microcontroller can now use Embedded C++ (EC++), courtesy of Tasking's M16C Software Development Toolset V2.1. The compiler in the toolset ...

A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

We love looking at hardcore electronics projects with a beefy microcontroller and hundreds, if not thousands, of lines of code at its center. But everyone needs to get there somehow. This tutorial ...

The age of ARM microcontrollers for the electronics hobbyist is upon us, and luckily there are a few breadboard-friendly microcontrollers available in a DIP package. One of these chips is NXP’s ...
