Dec 16, 2025 · 3 min read · Programming a surface-mount microcontroller (SMD MCU) is the same as programming a DIP part—the difference is how you physically access the programming/debug pins. You typically use one of these methods: 1) In-circuit programming/debugging (most comm...

Dec 9, 2025 · 4 min read · A “microcontroller counter” is usually just a timer/counter peripheral inside the MCU that automatically counts clock pulses or external events for you – so you don’t have to do it in software loops. Let’s break it down in plain language. 1. The bas...
