The good thing about computers is they do your work for you, right? If you are a programmer, that doesn’t always seem to be a true statement. [Runtimemicro] has the answer, at least if you are writing ...

The PLD (programmable-logic-device) code in Listing 1 creates arbitrary-resolution, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) generators. PWM generators are useful as low-bandwidth D/A converters in hardware of ...

For some projects, it’s okay to have a microcontroller twiddling it’s thumbs most of the time. When a project requires the cpu to do just one thing over and over, there’s no loss with inefficient code ...

Ones and zeroes: are clustered or spread out bits better? “It depends,” is the answer. Well, at least sorta. The clustered PWM tends to concentrate energy toward the lower frequencies, versus toward ...
