• The first thing you will need that makes things easier is to  download and install the LedControl Arduino library as it is essential for using the MAX7219.   Code #include…

  • While browsing through the mikroelectronika website and looking at available downloads, I noticed their Basic compilers for various microcontroller architectures. So after downloading the 8051 version and installing lets look…

  • Its fairly straightforward to connect  a 7 segment display to your 8051 processor, in this example we will do this and show a code example which cycles through the numbers…

  • In this example we connect an RGB LED to our 8051. In this case we used an RGB LED breakout, this was a common anode device. The schematic below shows…

  • Recently I purchased several 8051 type development boards from China, most of the examples were written in Keil. As a test I decided to see if i could get any…

  • A very simple example that toggles a set of 8 LEDs based on whether a switch is pressed or not The switch is connected to Port 3.0, the LEDs are…

  • This is a hexadecimal counter using LEDs. It will start at 0xFF and count down 1   Code #include <reg52.h> void delay(unsigned int i); main() { unsigned char Num =…

  • Again using the ARm + 8051 development board Example 1 #include<reg52.h> void Delay(unsigned int t); void main (void) { unsigned char i; Delay(50000); P2=0x7f; while (1) { for(i=0;i<8;i++) { Delay(50000);…
