Hi. When counting pulses using a microcontroller (say from an encoder or pulse generator), there are two methods: polling and using interrupts. Two alternative designs can be used (well, at least), one is to have the Microcontroller do it directly, and the other is to use a dedicated chip to do it. The concern is of course that the microcontroller might miss pulses if it is loaded with other ...

Hi, I am currently working on a university project that concerns the functionality of an inductive loop sensor. While I understand its basic functionality I am unsure how to use it with microcontroller. We will be using the sensor to detect vehicles that are parked in a parking spot. Once detected, we want the sensor to communicate with some sort of microcontroller so a timer can be set. Ho...

Hi all, What is a device consisting of FPGA and microntroller suitable to following reqiurement: 1. my PCB board size is 2.5"x2.5" - small (so I need a chip which has FPGA and Microcontroller ? ) 2. FPGA portion has minimum 28 JK FlipFlops, 28 shift registers, and the rest for IO and state machine, input clock 100 Mhz minimum. 3. microcontroller size has 2 serial ports, USB. Any advice wi...

I have a microcontroller and I want to make a connection with a lan card (a pc on a lan) using TCP/IP. I think to use the lan card IC to control the protocol, but I need to write a driver for it on my hardware. Can anybody help me to write the driver. I am experinced (almost) on 8051 microcontroller. Thanks, Omid.

Dear All, I am Ravikmar.N, working on Atmel (AT89C52) microcontroller. I know that TIMER1 of AT89C52 can be used to generate baudrate upto 57600. I need to set the microcontroller to 38400 or 115200. I dont know what values to be filled to the TIMERn register and which TIMERn to be used. If anybody know the solution please share your knowledge with me. Thank...

Hello, I'm brand new to this forum, but it seems to be the best place I could find to ask my question about a microcontroller and possibly a kit (I hope I posted in the right place). I'm currently a junior Computer Engineering major and am very new to the microprocessor world, so please forgive my noobish questions. =) What I need is a good microcontroller kit for my dynamics project. Prefe...

I wonder if anyone can help, I am looking for a USB Microcontroller with the following specifications USB+USART+SPI , possibly not need SPI USB slow or fast, RS232-300-19200 baud min, prefer upto 115200. When the USB is in suspend or not connected Microcontroller needs to run at low speed such that current consumption is around 1mA but the RS232 to keep running and the data logged and no p...

Hi, I'm designing a board where the microcontroller is supposed to drive 10 red leds and 4 optocouplers. I would like to drive the leds and the opto's without a series resistor using the PWM technique. I made some experiments and all seems to work fine in the lab. 1. The supply voltage is 3.3 Volt 2. The microcontroller is an ARM7 by NXP (LPC2387) 3. In DC, the microcontroller's GPIO...

Good morning I have a project where I need to embed microcontroller in a Xilinx ML401.This project consist a GSM which connect to a microcontroller(ATMEGA8535) and the microcontroller is eventually connected to Xilinx Virtex4 (ML401).It is actually road traffic light implementation for Emergency Vehicle Preemption System. My friend told me that I could do this by implementing a Microbl...
