ESP 8266 with NodeMCU

ESP 8266 with NodeMCU What is a NodeMCU NodeMCU is an open-source development board designed specifically for the Internet of Things (IoT). Key features of the NodeMCU Integrated Wi-Fi chip ((802.11 b/g/n) operating at 2.4GHz SOC: Powered by a 32-bit Tensilica Xtensa LX106 CPU, usually clocked at 80 MHz (which can be overclocked to 160 MHz). For comparison, a standard Arduino Uno runs at just 16 MHz. Also comes with a flash memory of a 4 MB of storage. Power: MicroUSB port (for data and power) + VIN pin (4.5V to 9V). IO GPIO Pins: It features 17 General Purpose Input/Output pins, though some are reserved for internal flash communication. Peripheral Support: It natively supports standard communication protocols like I2C (for displays and advanced sensors), SPI (for SD cards or RFID readers), and UART (for hardware serial communication). PWM Support: Pulse Width Modulation is available on the digital pins, allowing users to dim LEDs or control servo motors. ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter): It features one analog input pin (A0), which is perfect for reading analog components like potentiometers, light-dependent resistors (LDRs), or soil moisture sensors. ...

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi The raspberry pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation to promote teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries. Setting up Raspberry Pi As standard the Raspberry Pi comes without an operating system. It depends on the user which operating system is installed within the computer. The operating system can be installed on the Raspberry Pi using the following steps: ...

Working with ARM microcontroller using Keil uVision4

ARM Basics Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) is a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) architectures for computer processors, configured for various environments. Arm Holdings develops the architecture and licenses it to other companies, who design their own products that implement one of those architectures‍—‌including systems-on-chips (SoC) and systems-on-modules (SoM) that incorporate memory, interfaces, radios, etc. It also designs cores that implement this instruction set and licenses these designs to a number of companies that incorporate those core designs into their own products. Running ARM IC within simulator Download and install Keil uVision - MDK ARM Go to project in the menu bar anc click on new uVision Project. Select lpc2148 in the menu and click it. Disable startup file. Save the project in a new folder named something. This folder name can be changed accordingly but all the dependency file should correspnd to it. Within this folder create a newfile called as something.s. Copy and paste this code in something.s 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 AREA ONE, CODE, READONLY ENTRY MOV R0, #0X01 MOV R1, #0X02 ADD R2, R1, R0 L B L END Click one the source group on the left hand side and right click to add existing files… Add the something.s file, by checking the assembly files option Click translate first on the menu bar and then click build the second time. Now in the menu bar click on debug and then click start/stop debug session You can click run to run everything or click on step to run one line at a time More info about the lpc2148 The microcontroller lpc 2148 is a 32 bit memory controller. ...
