Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. They’re ok, but state machines are absolutely on our short list of favorite things. There are probably as many ways to implement a state machine as there ...

A critical tool when developing an embedded system in C is an understanding of how pointers work. Misunderstanding pointer fundamentals can result in long hours spent debugging a system or a hidden ...

One of the most common applications for using function pointers is in task schedulers. Every embedded system contains some type of task scheduler whether it is a simple round robin loop or a state of ...

Delegates are type safe function pointers *with an optional this pointer* thus no need to pass one round yourself. Obviously their utility is much enhanced in contract to C++ by virtue of being part ...

Learn how managed pointers differ from object references, why they are useful, and how to work with them in C# A pointer is a variable that points to the address of another variable. In other words, a ...

Embedded programming is a tricky task that looks straightforward to the uninitiated, but those with a few decades of experience know differently. Getting what you want to work predictably or even fit ...
