The intel 8051 series 8bit microcontroller, originally introduced in 1980, remains popular and has had perhaps the longest product life of all such devices. It has become the industry standard for ...

The Red LED should turn ON for 5 seconds (Stop Signal). After that, the Yellow LED should turn ON for 2 seconds (Get Ready Signal). The Green LED should turn ON for 5 seconds (Go Signal). The cycle ...

The 8051 microcontroller has two timers, Timer 0 and Timer 1, used for delay generation and event counting. In Mode 2 (8-bit auto-reload mode), the timer automatically reloads a preset value from TH1 ...

Here we designed a simple non contact tachometer using microcontroller which can measure speed with an accuracy of 1 rev/sec. Here we design a simple non-contact tachometer using microcontroller, ...

If you’ve ever wanted to program a microcontroller “in the cloud,” you might want to head over to Inventor Town, an online IDE that allows you to write and compile firmware for the MSP430 series of ...

Chipcon's CC2430 combines a 32-MHz 8051 microcontroller with an 802.15.4 transceiver. The combination can handle Chipcon's ZigBee stack. The chip is available in 32-, 64-, and 128-kbyte flash memory ...

Bielsko-Biala/Poland -- August 10, 2009 - The silicon Intellectual Property (IP) provider, Evatronix SA, today announced the full support of its R8051XC2 microcontroller IP, the world’s fastest 8051 ...

One of the fun things about “old school” computers is that it was fairly easy to get kids into programming them. The old Basic interpreters were pretty forgiving, and you could do some clever things ...
