Speech synthesis has been around since roughly the middle of the 20th century. Once upon a time, it took remarkably advanced ...

In last week's installment, we showed how to get started with Csound. This week we take it to the next step by constructing a homemade MIDI controller circuit and use the new device to control Csound ...

This Design Idea is for low-end, eight-pin, flash-memory, 8-bit microcontrollers, such as the MC68HC908QT4A from Freescale, but it would apply to any 8-bit microcontrollers that use the ADC feature.

You could write your microcontroller code on your desktop PC, or you could do it on your laptop on the go. Or, if you want to get really portable about things, you could write your embedded code on ...

Microcontrollers usually requirea watchdog timer to bring highcurrents or high voltages into a safecondition. Many microcontrollers havebuilt-in watchdog timers for this purpose.You may, however, ...
