When software is required to solve complex problems, the proper solutions are often beyond the capabilities of traditional programming techniques. A robust alternative for solving very complex ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

Finite State Machines (FSMs) serve as a foundational model for representing the behaviour of systems that transition between discrete states in response to inputs. Their applicability ranges from ...

A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

Finite State Machines (FSMs) have long been a cornerstone of digital system design, and continuing advancements in logic synthesis have enabled increasingly optimised implementations. At its core, FSM ...
