Microcontroller interrupts are one of the big tools in our embedded programming arsenal. They make the chip listen for particular events, and once detected they stop what they’re doing and run a ...

Welcome to part three of “Interrupts: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”. We’ve already professed our love for interrupts, showing how they are useful for solving multiple common microcontroller tasks ...

The proper use of an embedded MCU's low-power/sleep modes is critical to a design's success. In today's world of battery-operated devices, the proper use of the low-power/sleep modes provided in most ...
