As you know, we can read brainwaves with mindwave mobile. We need a microcontroller to control objects with these read signals. We will use Arduino as a microcontroller. In this article I will tell you about microcontrollers and Arduino
A microcontroller is a computer that is programmable, consisting of a single chip that is stored in a program and can then be executed. This is a feature that separates microcontrollers from microprocessors. We use microcontrollers on a large part of our life without realizing it. For example, microcontrollers are used in mobile phones, in car control systems, in cameras, in traffic lights, even in GPS satellites in space.
The microcontroller contains a microprocessor. These two concepts are a bit confusing. The microcontroller is also a combination of many units such as RAM(Random Access Memory), ROM(Read Only Memory), Hard Disk, Converter, etc.
Microcontrollers also include many modules such as USB, Ethernet, CAN, LCD, ADC Comparator, PWM, Eusart, Parallel port, Flash, EEPROM. These modules may vary by model. Microcontrollers can communicate with each other as well as with keypads, LCD screens, sensors and other microchip units. They can even be used to program themselves.
A microcontroller programming operation is performed with the hexadecimal number system. A microcontroller programming operation is performed with the hexadecimal number system, but this is a high-level operation. Numerous compilers and programming languages have been developed for simpler and more understandable programming. These include CCS-C Hi-Tech C, Keil Mplab, Arduino IDE and many other compilers and languages. The programmer selects one of these languages and prepares a software for the microcontroller and loads the microcontroller with the debugger / programmer. Unlimited number of applications can be done with microcontroller.With microcontrollers in street lamps, mobile phones, printers, televisions and many other electronic devices, our life is getting easier day by day.
In this project, we talked about using arduino as a microprocessor. What is an Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source microcontroller platform developed for the ease of use of every person involved in electronics. Using Arduino, you can read signals from various sensors, light up the lights, start the engine; In short, you can do all the electronic applications that you might think of.
