This is a step by step guide for those who want to start with Microcontroller Programming. The article starts with introducing a few basic terms that will be used in the guide, a list of tools, programming languages and at end, an example of a downloadable code with a step

Ultimate Guide: Microcontroller vs Microprocessor

30/04/2021, hardwarebee

Microcontroller vs microprocessor selection can be a tricky process during a digital design, and engineers still struggle to find the right compromise between power consumption, computational capabilities, embedded features and price. The first big decision a designer should make during the project is to whether implement a microcontroller vs microprocessor
