Programming the INSA PIC16 Board

After a few months twiddling PIC16 bits in simulation I need to get three, three-hour lab sessions written up for the PIC16F84.  The school has provided me with two versions of their PIC16F84A boards, one designed for Mechatronics students and one for EE students. The board designs date to the dawn of the Arduino era […]

Choosing a platform for teaching microcontroller programming

While planning a book on programming microcontrollers I've been trying to settle on a small group of microcontrollers that could be used for examples. Every couple of years I do this to myself.  Below are a few examples, including the ubiquitous Arduino UNO with an 8-bit chip, as well as the FRDM-KL25Z and Adafruit Metro […]
