RC on reset pin, necessary or not? Since I started working with micros I've always added an RC on the reset pin. This was always called for back in the day. But now I'm thinking I missed a memo and that... |

How do I create a branch target label in a macro? I haven't needed to do this in decades, but I do now. I need to create a local label inside an assembly language macro such that it (obviously) is different for each... |

Questions about PRNGs I have a few questions about PRNGs. Maybe somebody can point me to some answers online, or even answer them here. Many thanks beforehand! 1) If a particular... |

ARM SWD doesn't need nRESET? I was looking at various small ARM Cortex boards on eBay and I noticed that many of them bring out Vdd, GND, SWCLK and SWDIO, but not nRESET. The ARM SWD interface includes... |

Is this the most useless voltage regulator ever? I found some of these in a box so I looked them up. A 5V regulator with a maximum input voltage of 6V ?!?! What in the world would this be good for? Maybe it's... |

What was your first micro programming experience? I'll tell you mine (and date myself). Back in the mid 70s the price of 8080As had finally dropped down to something a student could afford, at $39.95 (James Electronics).... |

Any interest in Cortex M0+ ASM code to drive WS2812B LEDs? Not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I've written an ASM routine for Cortex M0+ to bit-bang output data for WS2812B LEDs that I'm happy to share. The... |

What's a good level translator from 3.3V to 5V? Either single drivers or multiples. I have occasions where I need to drive 5V hardware, and I'd also like to work more with ARMs, which, with a few exceptions, top out at 3.3V. So what are some standard... |

Has anybody used the ADC LSB to generate random bit sequences? I might have an application where such random bit sequences are useful. I had the idea of connecting an output pin (which is doing its own thing driving some hardware)... |
