Microcontroller Load Meter Tells You How Hard It’s Currently Working
Writing code for embedded applications can be difficult. There are all sorts of problems you can run into – race conditions, conflicting peripherals, unexpected program flow – any of these can cause havoc with your project. One thing that can really mess things up is if your microcontroller is getting stuck on a routine – without the right debugging hardware and software, this can be a tricky one to spot. [Terry] developed a microcontroller load meter just for this purpose. It’s a simple setup – a routine named loadmeter-task on the microcontroller sends a train of pulses to a mechanical …read more http://pje.fyi/P8YlZ9
