A few years ago, Damien George successfully funded a Kickstarter project that launched Micro Python, a “lean and fast implementation of Python 3,” designed to run on microcontrollers. In an article on ...

Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

When you think about bare-metal programming, you probably envision an electrical engineer sitting at a workbench, pouring through hundreds of pages of low-level register definitions. Once the correct ...

Embedded systems design and development can sometimes seem worlds apart from traditional application development on general computing devices and maybe even more so from Web development on the server ...
