Attempts to "make a supercomputer by combining incompetent Raspberry Pi" are often done, but a $ 7 (about 750 yen) microcontroller "cheaper than Raspberry Pi" ESP 32 Attempts to cluster clusters ...

Microcontroller or Microprocessor: Making the Right Choice Microprocessors have a single processing core (CPU), typically powerful enough to handle complex applications involving lots of memory.

There are rumors of a cheap chip that does USB natively, has an Open Source toolchain, and costs a quarter. These aren’t rumors: you can buy the CH552 microcontroller right now. Surprisingly,… ...

As a result, this project is set up as a how-to for others looking to dive further into the world of microcontrollers that don’t have the same hand-holding setup as the Arduino. To take care of ...

Here at Gizmodo, a number of do-it-yourself projects are featured that incorporate microcontrollers. If you’ve never worked with one before, don’t feel daunted, here’s an overview to help ...

First things first. Do you need a microcontroller or a microprocessor? These birds of a feather are distinct but inhabit overlapping use cases. Thus, understanding their comparative strengths is a ...

Intelligence is provided by a microcontroller with built-in analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and LED-dimming peripherals. The ADC monitors system variables, such as temperature, LED current, and ...
