Unveiling the Many Faces of Microcontroller Applications

Abstract. A microcontroller, also referred to as an MCU or microcontroller unit, represents an integrated circuit (IC) crafted for specific applications, tailored to execute designated tasks. While commonly employed in products requiring automated control, such as devices, power tools, automobile engine control systems, and computers, microcontrollers extend beyond these realms. Fundamentally, a microcontroller gathers input, […]

Blimp-F-O is a remote-controlled flying machine designed with a PIC32 microprocessor.

Introduction Flying drones have a wide range of applications and are becoming more and more popular. With that in mind, we decided to construct a balloon copter capable of fluid navigation in any direction. At the same time, we wanted our design to be reliable and capable of carrying a substantial amount of weight so
