If you want to try a Scratch-inspired take on microcontroller programming, check out MicroBlocks. It will work with several common boards, including the micro:bit and the Raspberry Pi Pico.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ, USA and Villotta di Chions, Italy -- June 09 2015 -- Semiconductor intellectual property company CAST Inc. and silicon device programming leader SMH Technologies today have ...

Plano, Texas , October 12, 2006 - Domain Technologies announces the availability of the industry's first, royalty-free, synthesizable MCS8051 code-compatible microcontroller netlist library and ...

The C language is the most popular high-level programming language for microcontrollers, but the 8051 microcontroller is typically regarded as unfriendly to C compilers. One reason is the 8051’s ...

[Andrew] picked up a handful of these big STC 8051 chips for a song and dance. The problem he has with them is the clunky VB6 programming software that only wants to run on a Windows box. He ...

The DS89C4x0 single-cycle 8051 processors come with flash memories up to 64 kbytes. They can be programmed by an application. The devices also include two full-duplex UARTs, ...

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.

Implementing a customized 8051 microcontroller in an FPGA is still relatively expensive for volumes of 10,000 to 100,000 pieces. So one of the unique features of the kit is a royalty-free license to ...

Di Sirio will illustrate to the seminar participants the strategies and best practices for programming high-performance and low-energy consumption microcontrollers.

Boasting of a 50x performance gain over original 8051 microcontrollers and a six-fold gain over the next-fastest 8051s, the DS89C420 is said to be the first 8051-compatible controller ...
