Projects, tutorials, and articles about microcontrollers (AVR, PIC, 8051, MSP430, and STM32 or other ARM architectures), FPGA, analog electronics, and digital electronics
Want to learn real digital hardware design? You might want to consider Field Programmable Grid Array or FPGA. There are a lot of FPGA learning kits available today. Some are specially designed to target developments of commercial projects which are, of course, very expensive. Some are a little bit price friendly specially for students and FPGA newbies (like me).
This tutorial is about using the internal timers/counters of 8051. This will tackle the registers associated with the internal timers/counters of 8051 and this will also enumerate the steps on using the timers/counters.
The AT89C2051 has two 16-bit Timer/Counters: Timer0 and Timer1. This means that it can time/count from 0-65535 (2^16-1). The timers can be used to generate accurate delays and the counters can be used to count events. An event can be anything. It can be a pulse, a push, a pull, or any stimulus. [Read more...]
If you are an AVR fan, you must be familiar with most of Atmel’s AVR development tools: STK500, AVR Studio, AVRISP, AVR TJAGICE, AVR JTAGICE mkII, AVRISP mkII, STK600, etc. But there is one Atmel AVR development tool that provides ISP programming, High Voltage Programming, and debugging which comes in small form, beautiful box, and cheap price.
The development tool that I am talking about is the AVR Dragon.
