For a lot of us, our first exposure to the world of microcontrollers was through the offerings of Parallax, Inc. Perhaps you were interested in doing something small and light, and hoping to leverage ...

Unlike other microcontrollers I investigated, the BASIC Stamp furnishes only a small memory space-16 words (32 bytes)-in which you can save data. The BASIC software takes six of those bytes for I/O ...

The Basic Stamp Computer is based on 12 Parallax BASIC Stamp microcontrollers wherein the hardware/software clustered parallel processing is made by fully connecting the components. The Basic Stamp ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a Matlab and Simulink based software platform that enables the use of inexpensive microcontrollers for data acquisition and control tasks. The proposed framework is ...

We see it all the time on Digi-Key’s TechXchange forum: beginning electrical engineering enthusiasts looking to select their first microcontroller. With more than 36,000 microcontrollers to choose ...
