In a recent video our hacker [Electronic Wizard] introduces the 74HC595 shift register and explains how to use it to drive 7-segment displays. [Electronic Wizard] explains that understanding how ...

There are many reasons to build your own Arduino circuit on a protoboard or a custom-designed printed circuit board. At the heart of the Arduino platform is an AVR microcontroller, in usual way you ...

The microcontroller now reads the single bit of data. The action of three differing periods generates three functions: load, clock, and data read. The time the microcontrollers need to change port ...

The 6-pin, SOT-23 PIC10F204 microcontroller fits this description very well. The PIC10F204 has an internal comparator, so we will not require an external comparator.

While having a lower pin count, the new microcontroller integrates a 6-channel serial interface, an 8-channel 10-bit A/D converter and a 10-channel timer with a Programmable Pulse Generator (PPG).
