8051 might be the first microcontroller you came across while learning about microcontrollers. Though in today’s time 8051 is not so popular in the industry, it is still widely used by hobbyist and for small scale project. Learning 8051 will help you build upon your microcontroller concepts and provide a platform for you to move onto other high-end controllers.
Timers are an essential part of any microcontroller. Quite often, in microcontroller programming, there is a need to generate accurate delays as well as execute certain events periodically. This is where a timer is of utmost importance. A Timer, when initiated, counts the internal clock Read more…
8051 consists of a programmable serial port with two transmission lines, Rx(receive) and Tx(transmit). The data is serially transmitted through Tx pin and received through the Rx pin. In 8051 UART communication, data can be transmitted and received simultaneously which makes it a full duplex communication. The number of bits Read more…
Programming a microcontroller is not as difficult as it sounds to most people when they’re just starting out with microcontrollers. In fact, with proper hardware and a few connections, you can easily burn your code and then lay back and watch your microcontroller execute what you desire(obviously not everything Read more…
Computers essentially understand machine codes which are long binary sequences of 0 and 1. For every unique operation, there is a unique sequence of 0s and 1s which makes the processor perform the required operation. As a programmer, writing code in machine language is very tedious and you wouldn’t Read more…
