Most tutorials skim over a lot of information. Not this one. This tutorial assumes you have some basic knowledge, but tries not to make any other assumptions. The goal is to lower the barrier to entry for getting started with the AVR by starting at square one (i.e. you don’t even own a programmer) and getting you using the tools as quickly as possible….more

Introduction
This tutorial is about using the internal timers/counters of 8051. This will tackle the registers associated with the internal timers/counters of 8051 and this will also enumerate the steps on using the timers/counters.
The Timers/Counters of AT89C2051
The AT89C2051 has two 16-bit Timer/Counters: Timer0 and Timer1. This means that it can time/count from ……more

What is UART?
UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. As its name implies, it is universal. It can be used to establish a communication between a microcontroller and another device – microcontroller, USB controller, Bluetooth modules, GSM modules, GPS modules, personal computers, etc.
I am not going to discuss the UART protocol ……more
