SoftUART testing using Piccolo LaunchPad

Software UART (SoftUART) using TMS320F28027 Piccolo with Proteus Simulation

Introduction Creating reliable serial communication without a hardware UART might sound tricky, but this SoftUART project proves how flexible embedded systems can be. In this tutorial-style showcase, we build a software-implemented UART on the TMS320F28027 Piccolo microcontroller and test it inside a realistic Proteus simulation environment. This approach is ideal for learners and engineers exploring […]

The Engineering Principles Behind Everyday Systems

Beyond the Code: The Engineering Principles Behind Everyday Systems

When most people think of engineering, they picture machines, blueprints, or lines of code scrolling across a screen. Yet engineering goes far deeper than visible tools or digital logic. It is the invisible structure behind the systems that shape modern life. From communication networks to smart infrastructure, every piece of technology that people rely on

Implementing Smart Cooling Control for Induction Heaters with PIC Microcontrollers

Implementing Smart Cooling Control for Induction Heaters with PIC Microcontrollers

Today, induction heating powers countless industrial processes like melting, heat treatment, and welding, plus everyday appliances like cooktops. Its key advantages? High efficiency and precise control. But this powerful heating comes with a thermal challenge: massive heat generation. Simply put, this heat must dissipate effectively. Otherwise, critical components—IGBT power modules and the induction coils themselves—risk

Interfacing and Communicating with the 68HC05/705 Microcontroller Family

This document provides information necessary to interface the Andromeda Research EPROM+ programming system to certain members of the Motorola 68HC05/705 microcontroller family. The interface is accomplished using the ACOM1 adapter by uploading a small communication program into the RAM area of the 68HC05 device. Once uploaded, the program establishes a communication link between the 68HC05
