by Jon Wilder As some of you have noticed, the internal RAM in the PIC 16F appears to be arranged in “banks”. Each bank holds 128 RAM registers total. The first 128 RAM locations are in bank 0, the next 128 RAM locations are in bank 1, so on and so forth. But hold on…is […]
A beginner’s guide to microcontrollers
by Jon Wilder Time after time I see beginners try to get started in embedded electronics, only to be overwhelmed and not know where to start. Some even make the mistake of trying to write their own code without first gaining a thorough understanding of the microcontroller/microprocessor they’re working with, the programming language they’re working […]
Designing a Microprocessor from Scratch
By Val Gretchev, Electro-Tech-Online member Many students in Electrical Engineering learn how to use and program a microprocessor but very few know what goes on inside. This article will give the reader insight into the inner workings of a very simple microprocessor that can be extended to more powerful designs. I will use a visual […]
