Like just about everyone we know, [Luis] decided a gigantic RGB LED matrix would be a cool thing to build. Gigantic LED matrices are very hard to build, though: not only do you have to deal with large ...

While regular Hackaday readers already know how to blink a LED with a microcontroller and have moved onto slightly more challenging projects such as solving the Navier-Stokes equations in 6502 ...

STMicroelectronics has put plenty of analogue features and DMA (direct memory access) into its latest 8bit 8pin microcontroller. Dubbed STM8L050, alongside two comparators, it has four-channel 12bit ...

Analog 8-bit microcontrollers are common, but their number approaches zero as the sample rate and resolution grow. Silicon Laboratories' C8051F064 sits at the top of the heap with an 8051-based MCU ...
