MicroPython is a compact implementation of the Python 3 programming language designed to work with microcontrollers. Initially announced back in 2013 as part of a Kickstarter project created by ...

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 ...

When creating microcontroller firmware, you often need to work with data arrays. Tables make easy work of data arrays, such as those for digital-code transformation, correction for sensor linearity, ...

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 ...

Evidence of a larger push for simple, instant flashing to microcontrollers without an installed IDE can also be found in the Tessel, a Wi-Fi-enabled board that has made twice its crowdfunding goal ...

Texas Instruments’ 16-bit MSP430FR57xx looks like most microcontrollers except it only has one FRAM memory block for code and data. Shades of core memory.

Code compiles and runs directly on the microcontroller, not on a host PC. While Micro Python supports a broad range of the language features of both Python 2 and 3, some features are still missing.

When students at Cornell University wanted to play Human Tetris (and ace a final project to boot), they taught a 20Mhz, 8-bit microcontroller how to follow their moves.
