Implementing configurable logic blocks on a microcontroller IC is by now an established practice. These blocks in the past have been implemented either as register-configured fixed logic or as an ...

Look at any sufficiently advanced CNC machine or robot, and you’ll notice something peculiar. On one hand, you have a computer running a true operating system for higher-level processing, be it vision ...

Join Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Staff Writer Dan Maloney as they take a look at the week’s top stories, taken straight off the pages of Hackaday. What happens when you stuff modern parts into ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

Microcontroller applications often have low-level sensor signals and moderate power-drive circuitry, in addition to the microcontrollers. A peaceful coexistence with these three extremes requires a ...

Multi-CPU, 8051 instruction-set-compatible parallel controller executes up to 300 MIPS in Actel Axcelerator FPGA and features concurrent real-time monitoring/debugging of all 9 CPUs via JTAG using ...

DIY: Why spend nearly half a million dollars on a used supercomputer when you can build your own miniature version at home? That's exactly what one YouTuber recently did and the end result is quite ...
