3 reasons to transition from C to C++
For decades there has been a debate among embedded software engineers as to whether they should be using C or C++. For the most part,…
Interfacing with modern sensors: DMA based ADC drivers
In the previous article, we examined how to improve the efficiency of an analog to digital converter (ADC) driver by converting from a polled driver…
Interfacing with modern sensors: Interrupt driven ADC drivers
In the last article, we examined how we could write an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver that blocked and one that used a polling technique to…
Interfacing with modern sensors: Polled ADC drivers
In the last post, we examined how in a modern embedded application a developer should create an interface that decouples the low-level driver implementation details…

Interfacing with modern sensors: Interface design
When working with sensors in a modern development cycle, it’s important that before writing any sensor code, developers take the time to carefully think through…
3 driver design techniques for microcontrollers
A fundamental skill that embedded software developers need to master is understanding how to write drivers. Within an embedded system, there a typically two types…
Five techniques to lower energy consumption
In my last post, “How Low (Power) Can You Go?”, we examined several different low power modes that are available in microcontrollers and how those…
How low (power) can you go?
In my last post, “Arm Cortex-M low-power mode fundamentals”, we explored the fundamentals of low power modes that can be found on every Arm Cortex-M…
Arm Cortex-M low-power mode fundamentals
Whether an embedded system runs on batteries or is connected to the grid, designing a system that is green and minimizes energy consumption is a…
