Welcome to Mikronauts.com!

This site is dedicated to those individuals who work with, or like tinkering with, microcontrollers. After a long absence from electronics, I decided to dive back in… the capabilities of current microcontrollers significantly outpace the first micro computers!

I am currently fascinated by the Propeller - a VERY unique microcontroller from Parallax, whom many of you know as the originators of the Basic Stamp series of modules. Despite my fascination with the propeller, I am also working with a few other popular microcontroller families, and I intend to write about all the microcontrollers I end up working with.

You can expect articles on the following microcontroller families:

  • Parallax Propeller
  • Atmel ATMega series
  • PIC 16F, 18F and dsPIC series
  • ARM7 derived controllers

Please note that I welcome contributions about ANY microcontroller - not just the ones listed above!

Best Wishes,

Bill
