Is there a sure-fire way to determine if an MCU is fried?
Are you looking for a general solution to verify RAM, Flash, and peripherals, or just to determine if it's still programmable? It reads like you're looking for the latter, but I'm not sure that's wis …

What microcontroller should I use?
The NI Labview environment is expensive, but it will do what you need (Over USB, Ethernet, or PCI depending on what you get.)
The Arduino Mega has 54 pins, which gets you close, for $60. However, i …

Are there any powerful processors that exist that are hobbyist friendly?
Cool project! I suppose that your choice of processor (and reason for needing external memory) will depend on how you define "simple graphing capabilities" and "limited programming ability".

1-wire parasitically powered microcontroller?
You might consider adding a request to your custom slave's functions to say "OK, I'm going to need a lot of current for a little while here", and add a MOSFET pullup to your output. Then, you could t …

Software to manage packaging all files related to a product (for hand off to customer)
It sounds like you're more interested in the release packaging than PLM. Just putting all the files together isn't a bad solution. It works for a lot of projects! With a few caveats and policies, i …

What options for 16 bit audio sampling to low cost microcontroller
At a system design level, there are four basic ways to do audio:
The first is to use the onboard ADC and/or DACs included with your microcontroller. … The chip will integrate ADCs and DACs which are ideally suited for stereo audio into a single package, and you can address it over a serial link from your microcontroller. …

How can I control many LEDs with just a few pins on my micro?
There are several methods which can be used to drive large numbers of LEDs from a few IO pins.
The simplest is standard row/column display multiplexing. With this technique, you can drive \$( n / …
