#TexasInstruments just released a #microcontroller so small you could lose it in your pocket. The #MSPM0C1104 is only 1.38 mm², smaller than a grain of rice, but still acts as a tiny computer. It has a 32-bit processor running at 24 MHz, with 1KB of memory and 16KB of storage. It can even sense things like temperature or movement. Power use is minimal, running on just 87μA per MHz and dropping to 5μA in standby. This makes it ideal for tiny devices that need to last a long time on small batteries. It is also built to handle extreme conditions, working in temperatures from –40°C to 125°C. https://www.ti.com/product/MSPM0C1104

Wieder einen Meilenstein erreicht. Schaltung in Gehäuse eingebaut, ich habe einfache eine Blechdose genommen. Dann noch den Microcontroller ProMicro anstatt dem Arduino programmieren. Dazu habe ich 4 Tage investieren müssen, und jetzt läuft's! #microController #Elektronik #diy

TI's tiny #microcontroller is the world's smallest and costs less than 20 cents - https://www.zdnet.com/article/tis-tiny-microcontroller-is-the-worlds-smallest-and-costs-less-than-20-cents/ " This remarkable device is only a little larger than a pepper flake." insane

Part 2 of my Intro to #Zephyr series is out! CMake is a popular tool, even among embedded developers, and Zephyr relies heavily on it for its build process. Get a quick primer on #cmake and see how Zephyr uses it!

Haven’t done a fun #maker project in a while I wanted to spice up my background in videos, so I built this We’ll see how it looks when I film next! #electronics #esp32 #Arduino #IoT #microcontroller

Here is the one everyone has been asking for: Introduction to #Zephyr The first episode is out! My plan is to get #embedded devs up to speed on this fast-growing #RTOS. Check it out!

Digging through an old box and found these from back when I'd get any new microcontroller... sigh. Anyone have a use for them?

Has anyone run a #microcontroller project with a really small (< 4mb) #database in it?

I've been toying with the idea of a small, non-internet connected, epaper display that displays a series of quotes over the course of the day. A #RaspberryPi would work, but I'd like the form factor to be even smaller. Most microcontrollers have kb of memory though.

EDIT 30.01.2025: Thank you all so much, this ticket may be closed!
I need your help, dear electronic nerds. Does anyone know the exact name of this white connector at the left? I want to buy one (or maybe more), but I do not know how to search it without a proper name. Pleas help. #microController #diy #arduino #connector

Today I made the setup of the circuit to trigger my camera. The optocoupler of the starter kit did the trick.
And it passed a smoke test. #microController #diy #cameraTrigger #arduino
