PIC output is just 2.5V – The PIC18f4550 output voltage is said to be 5v but instead I get just 2.5v. I tried by disconnecting the load but even then it is just 2.5v.What could be the problem? Read more 2-inch, 7-segment display – I am using 2-inch, 7-segment display but data is not showing in the […]
First MCU products in embedded hardware/software dev platform
Renesas Electronics’ first products in the company’s new Renesas Synergy Platform include the S7G2 and S3A7 microcontroller (MCU) groups, which target connected human machine interface (HMI) and power-efficient control applications used in industrial, healthcare, home appliance and metering products. Development kits featuring the two MCU groups, software development tools, and the Renesas Synergy Software Package (SSP) […]
SoCs for embedded feature real-time processing and multimedia
The new Sitara AM57x processors from Texas Instruments provide advanced integration of compute, real-time control, connectivity and multimedia capabilities, allowing developers to simplify their designs with a single chip instead of needing multiple chips for each function. This integration is well suited for applications involving industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), factory automation, machine vision, embedded computing, […]

Question about coding 7-segment, 5-digit driver – I am planning to use 25Hz-50Hz clock signal to feed the CD4017 decade counter which is used for selecting the digits. In the timer interrupt vector, should I update the data on the each digit? Or, how I can do this? When a button is pressed and an interrupt is created, […]
5 causes of nasty firmware bugs — and how to prevent them
Firmware bugs. They’re the infamous ghosts in the machine that loom large in every developer’s mind. Firmware bugs can have catastrophic consequences for IoT devices, especially safety-critical systems such as automobiles and medical equipment, and they can be incredibly difficult to find and kill. To add to the issue, sometimes the root cause damages the […]
Cost-effective controller speeds USB-C designs
Microchip Technology Inc. announced the addition of the UTC2000, USB-C controller to its portfolio of USB devices. With this new device, designers of a wide range of applications covering the consumer, industrial and automotive markets can now simply and quickly implement the radically updated USB-C connector cost effectively, speeding time to market and minimizing bills of […]

WTA 16f628a button trigger code – I am using a PIC 16f628a and testing with a button trigger function. I wrote this code in C but it didn’t work as expected. My code is error-free and I checked the input voltage of button. It has a 5V supply. Desired function is, when button is pressed, only one LED […]

STM32, Free RTOS and LwIP – ping issues – I have been trying hard to get my FreeRTOS v7.3.0 system working together with lwIP v1.4.1 and I have sucessfully managed to get connection and DHCP. But when I try to use sockets it only works sometimes. I have been trying almost everything from changing the Heap Size, […]
MCU families with core-independent peripherals
The expanded family of PIC MCUs from Microchip offers Core-Independent Peripherals (CIPs) for use in broad range of applications, due to the growing number of these intelligent, interconnected CIPs that combine to perform functions autonomously, without the core. Because these functions are deterministically and reliability performed in hardware instead of software, CIPs increase system performance over typical 8-bit […]
