Today, we’re going to explore the uses of addressable LEDs. Addressable LED is an easy way to add complex lighting effects to any project. Each addressable LED has an integrated driver that allows you ...

These days, addressable LEDs are all the rage. A little chip paired with each LED receives signals and modulates the light output as needed. [John Peterson] was working on a project along these very ...

Actual microcontrollers have powerful bidirectional I/O ports, and you can use different techniques to fully exploit such capabilities. Recent Design Ideas described the “Charlieplexing” method as an ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers that enjoy creating wearable electronic projects or anything that is connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) may be interested in a new 32-bit microcontroller ...

Eight-pin microcontrollers offer numerous peripheral features. However, the maximum number of I/O pins available is often limited to six, since two pins would be required for the chip's power supply.

The 87C551Mx2 microcontroller family breaks the 64 KB barrier for 8-bit 80C51 controllers by supporting up to 16 MB of on-chip linear addressable memory. The device is the first in a line of large ...
