How to pick a microcontroller platform
- sbierwagen 11y agoMicrocontrollers come in 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and even 64-bit variants. 4-bit microcontrollers have existed for a couple decades now: they're used for clocks, timers, etc. The Epson MCUs come with a built-in LCD driver: http://global.epson.com/products/semicon/products/mcu/4bit_index.html http://global.epson.com/products/semicon/products/mcu/4bit_i...
- svec 11y agoOP here: I debated adding that, but thought no one would care - but I'll add it since someone else cares about 4-bit'ers too. :-)
- kjs3 11y agoYou kids and your multiple bits! In my day, we made do with a single bit. And we liked it! :-) http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/motorola/mc14500b/ http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/retrocomputing/motorola/mc1450... Really...the mc14500 line is a 1-bit industrial control processor.
