The 8051 was an 8-bit Harvard-architecture microcontroller first put out by Intel in 1980. They’ve since discontinued that line, but it lives on in the low-cost STC8 family of chips, which is ...

Wind turbine control systems have evolved significantly over the past decades, moving from simple classical controllers to sophisticated artificial intelligence-based strategies. Early utility-scale ...

"Windup" occurs when the integral term grows indefinitely while the actuator is saturated (at max limit). Standard PID calculates d(Error)/dt. This library calculates ...

Arduino is being acquired by Qualcomm subject to regulatory approval for an undisclosed sum. Qualcomm Arduino introduces a new UNO form factor board, the Arduino UNO Q, which features both a STM32 MCU ...

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Embedr is an AI-powered Arduino-like IDE designed to simplify development for Arduino-compatible microcontrollers. It looks very similar to the Cursor code editor and uses Microsoft’s Monaco Editor ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

In a previous article by the authors, “Deadtime compensation opportunities and realities,” evidence showed how simple implementation of deadtime compensation improves loop performance over and above ...
