Introduction to Microcontrollers

What are the programming languages that use in microcontrollers?

Is there any microcontrollers that uses an assembly language??

If there is  how people use that because as far as i know assembly language is really hard to understand.

Is it true that some of the pins in microcontrollers can be an input or output??

What do you mean by the maximum capacitance? Is it the memory capacitance?

For example, we are talking about the 8051 Microcontroller, the internal RAM of the 8051 is 128 bytes; it can have external memory upto 64K in size. Thus, total Data Memory available on 8051 Microcontroller is 64K + 128 bytes in size.

What is the meaning of RAM?

How can i differentiate it in ROM?

What is the importance of ADC in microcontrollers

what is the difference of it in DAC ?? Are they not the same??

Are there even different types of memory? If so, what are they?

I think the different types of microcontroller are ROM, EPROM and EEPROM. But I could also be wrong.

What is the difference between ROM, EPROM and EEPROM??

ROM means Read only memory you can store data here even the power supply is off it is similar to flashdrives because it is nonvolatile

EPROM means Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory it is a type of ROM that erasable or can be use. You can erase data by means of ultraviolet light

ROM means read only memory you can store data here even the power supply is of . It is like flashdrive because it is nonvolatile type of memory

EEPROM means Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory it is a memory where in you can delete data using electric charges

What is the meaning of RAM?

RAM means Random access Memory you can only access it if the power supply is on because it is a volatile memory

How can i differentiate it in ROM?

The difference between RAM and ROM is that, When you store data in RAM if the power supply is off you cannot access it while in ROM you can still save it

Morris wrote:Is it true that some of the pins in microcontrollers can be an input or output??

Yes it is true there are serial ports in microcontrollers that can be an input or output and it is called bidirectional

Morris wrote:Is there any microcontrollers that uses an assembly language??

Yes there is The Microcontroller 8051 uses assembly language in order to run it.

You can use the ATMEL 8051 emulator software in running this kind of microcontroller. Yes assembly languages is hard to understand but these languages can be understand if you will use the mnemonics, and with that you can easily convert it to its appropriate code

Morris wrote:What are the programming languages that use in microcontrollers?

Base on the microcontrollers that I've encountered 8051 using a assembly language and arduino using a C language .. I don't know what languages in other micrcontrollers.

Morris wrote:Who is the inventor of microcontrollers?

The inventors who made the microcontroller are Gary Boone and Michael Cochran

What is assembly Language??

wow its cool these is very helpful because you can really maximize the pins in microcontrollers

Arduino is the company that create many version of microcontrollers right? It is amazing because you can run it easily because they're already made a software that compatible for it.

I also heard that with the use of bluetooth you can also program the microcontrollers

Morris wrote:What is the importance of ADC in microcontrollers

The importance of it is analog data must need to convert in digital because as far as i know the language that understand by microcontrollers is only the binary digits.

If you will ask what are the binary digits these are 1 and 0 and it has a differents meaning depends on how they program it
