In the 1990s, I was the lead servo-system engineer for the world’s largest radio telescope (Reference 1). Our team was responsible for real-time motion control of 30 45m-diameter giant antennas that ...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, the adage goes. But a broken or out-of-sync lighting control system can spell disaster for days on end. In many lighting control systems, a central controller ...

Keeping track of time is essential, even for microcontrollers, which is why a real-time clock (RTC) peripheral is a common feature in MCUs. In the case of the STM32 family there are three varieties of ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

As miniaturization continues to be a key goal for designers of high-tech gadgets, STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, ...

Like many early microcomputers, the Commodore VIC-20 did not come with an interna real-time clock built into the system. [David Hunter] has seen fit to rectify that with an add-on module as his entry ...

To find the RTOS with the best real-time performance, you've got to do an apples-to-apples comparison. Developers are making embedded systems applications more complex, not only because they can, but ...

Real-time insights has become a powerful differentiator for companies across many industries. In partnership withStarTree During Black Friday in 2024, Stripe processed more than $31 billion in ...
