The Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W can be used to write files to your local computer using Serial communication. This can be easily accomplished with a basic Python script on your PC, and then by implementing a simple MicroPython script on your Pico or Pico W. This feature is especially useful for storing large amounts of data from sensors, which is a typical use for this microcontroller. It also facilitates the smooth transmission of existing files.

hi all i building a distrobutied BMS and would like a ultra low power MCU for the cell moduels the resuqerments are min voltage 1.5v (lower if possable) max voltage 5v (if possable if not just as high as possable) run current 100ua (less if possable) sleep current as low as possable must have minium of 8 ADC channles nust have a min of 1 UART must have a min of 1 I2C must have min 10 aditional GIPO smallest posable package size submitted by /u/Efficient-Economy-18 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This might be a long post, but in short: looking for advice on how to address my knowledge gaps and what are potential future job pathways I got into MCU's nearly a decade ago during an undergraduate course using the TI MSP430. It was introductory and covered timers and PWM. Then, I didn't touch MCUs for years until my PhD came about. I realized they could be used to address a research question we had. For the past 3+ years, 80% of my work has focused on building this MCU based system. The work has been completely done in the Arduino environment, and evolved across a number of boards/chips: A ..read more

I'm having this idea about making a mini radar for my small airport project. And I already have the simulation with the neccessary components but I'm kinda stuck on the coding. Can anyone please help me with the coding process? I'm using PIC16F877A btw, thanks for the helping too submitted by /u/Obvious_Change_2253 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I've been a software engineer for about 15 years, but the lowest level I have ever coded at was some OpenGL with C (I know the basics of C and can code in it). I recently restarted university and I am really struggling with the microcontroller class, simply because the lecture and the material are basically not explaining anything and I can't work on the labs at home since a lot of hardware is required. I am looking for resources (Books, Websites, whatever) to learn the following topics: - Microcontrollers: System Bus, Partial Address Decoding (I can solve the exercises for Adress Decoding bu ..read more

Hello everyone, I'm new to this subreddit, I want to ask everyone here who can help me with some advice, I have my degree project that I need to do and for the last 3 weeks I'm trying to create some sorts of irrigation system based on a few sensors the to open a valve to irigate trough dripping, I'm using a PIC16F887 but it's hard for me to get along to I2C protocol to read some data from a few sensors. What do you think, it's worth it using this PIC or it would be making my life easier if I'll change it and any advice that you have it's well welcomed Please let me know with anything that wil ..read more

Hi redditors, I'm currently working with the IWR6843AOPEVM radar module from Texas Instruments and I'm facing some challenges in setting up a UART connection to communicate with my Raspberry Pi. I have the basic datasheets for the module, which are just around 80-90 pages, but they don't provide specific information on UART configuration such as setting the baud rate etc. I've noticed that Texas Instruments often refers to using mmWave Studio for interfacing with these modules, but mmWave Studio isn't really a programming environment, and it doesn't suit my needs for direct programming in ..read more

Are there any microcontrollers that would be able to handle atleast 2 I2S peripherals, like an INMP441 microphone, and send the data through USB in real time to be processed by my laptop? The processing requires an FFT to all the microphone inputs and multiple matrix multiplication and IFFT to produce an output, that's why I'm sending it to the computer. Thanks! submitted by /u/ylooooooodizon [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hey all, I am currently a software engineer primarily coding in C# and python. I have taken an interest in learning how to code microcontrollers with C. I need some assistance, I want a build a small dev board that can make use of wifi, Bluetooth, SD card, a camera and a LED. I have been reading about stm32 and esp32 boards I want to purchase these 2 for development and learning, I currently live in germany and not sure exactly which boards to purchase and where to purchase them from. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/WillingnessKey7827 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
