MSP430 Microcontroller Tutorial

May 4th, 2011 by Robot Technology | No Comments | Filed in Microcontroller

Do you want to build a robot using MSP430 microcontroller..? Then you should know the basic knowledge of MSP430 microcontroller. This MSP430 tutorial will show you how MSP430 works (included: MSP430 sample code).
MSP430 microcontroller tutorial

Microcontrollers are binary computers and so they operate on the basis of binary numbers. Binary numbers consist of only 1 and 0. Binary, nevertheless, is unnatural for humans to make use of. ssembly language is one step above binary. It’s therefore probably the most basic language for controlling computers because it represents binary directly and it’s simpler to know. Knowledge of assembly is not totally necessary to program the MSP430, but it is useful in optimizing routines to obtain the maximum overall performance (in terms of speed or memory). The C programming language is the main language utilized and will be followed all through this tutorial. In general, a compiler translates the C code into the binary code and we’ll not worry about how this is performed at first.

8051 Microcontroller Tutorial

April 29th, 2011 by Robot Technology | No Comments | Filed in Microcontroller

This is the document about microcontroller 8051 tutorial. 8051 is one of the most popular microcontroller used by the hobbyst. The 8051 architecture provides many functions (CPU, RAM, ROM, I/O, interrupt logic, timer, etc.) in a single package.

A particularly useful feature of the 8051 core is the inclusion of a boolean processing engine which allows bit-level boolean logic operations to be carried out directly and efficiently on internal registers and RAM. This feature helped cement the 8051′s popularity in industrial control applications. Another valued feature is that it has four separate register sets, which can be used to greatly reduce interrupt latency compared to the more common method of storing interrupt context on a stack.
