Arduino is super easy to learn. Any beginner can learn Arduino with little or no knowledge of programming. It uses a simplified version of C/C++ language which is easily adaptable. It is an ideal board for beginners. Arduino is a plug and play electronic board with a simple and minimalistic...
What is a Microprocessor? Microprocessor has only a CPU inside them in one or few Integrated Circuits. Like microcontrollers it does not have RAM, ROM and other peripherals. They are dependent on external circuits of peripherals to work. But microprocessors are not made for specific task but the...
Microprocessor types and use-cases Versatile microprocessors can be found in a wide variety of applications, while specialized units are commonly employed for specific tasks requiring high-power processing. Ranging in power, performance, size, energy consumption and many other aspects, the following are...
an elevator might contain an embedded system, such as a microprocessor ormicrocontroller, that lets it understand which buttons the passenger is pressing. The embedded software that runs on that system
AVR microcontrollers are common among hobbyists and students. AVR microcontrollers are developed by Atmel, later acquired by Microchip. The popularArduinoboards uses AVR microcontroller. Advantages Small Size In contrast to a computermicroprocessor, a microcontroller is intended for some specific tasks. So...
Devices or computer system made with microprocessors can be made portable due to the small size and low power consumption. Common Terms used in a Microprocessor Here are some common terms that we will use in microprocessor field. Bus A bus is a set of conductors intended to transmit data, ad...
