Back in the Before Times, when microcontroller development required ultraviolet light, building anything was a pain. You probably had to burn a ROM onto a chip with a parallel programmer, there was no ...

For a lot of us, our first exposure to the world of microcontrollers was through the offerings of Parallax, Inc. Perhaps you were interested in doing something small and light, and hoping to leverage ...

The Basic Stamp Computer is based on 12 Parallax BASIC Stamp microcontrollers wherein the hardware/software clustered parallel processing is made by fully connecting the components. The Basic Stamp ...

A family of chips and small circuit boards from Parallax, Inc., Rocklin, California that are used for myriad processing functions. For example, the BASIC Stamp 1 Interpreter Chip includes a PBASIC ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a Matlab and Simulink based software platform that enables the use of inexpensive microcontrollers for data acquisition and control tasks. The proposed framework is ...

Youngsters interested in technology might get a kick out of working with real computer hardware and software during their summer break. Parents, relatives, and friends have many ways to get these kids ...

The BasicStamp by Parallax is probably the most popular microcontroller amongst electronics hobbyists. One of the reasons for this is that it can be programmed in a simplified, customized form of ...

Electronic Design's own Lou Frenzel is updating one of his textbooks—and is soliciting advice from readers on microcontroller content to include. I am in the process of updating my book "Electronics ...
