One of the better retro historians out there on YouTube is the 8-Bit Guy, and after years of wanting to do something like this, it’s finally happening. The 8-Bit Guy is building his dream computer, ...

Designers are often faced with a decision on which microcontroller variety to use, and are left to parse out the differences between 8-, 16-, and 32-bit MCUs. 16-bit MCU was previously favored in some ...

… or is the 16-bit microcontroller family dead? Over the years, the lines have blurred between the 8-, 16-, and 32-bit microcontroller families with designers confused to when they should select which ...

If you’ve read through the comments on Hackaday, you’ve doubtless felt the fires of one of our classic flame-wars. Any project done with a 32-bit chip could have been done on something smaller and ...

Computer technology has advanced over the last few years and now produces graphic details with clarity in high-definition. There are thousands of games you can enjoy today that feature amazing ...

Everything in the digital world is measured in bits and bytes. Following are the common components in a computer that are measured in bits. See bit and binary values. The "word" size is the number of ...

For those of you who aren’t a thousand years old, Triple Trouble is a classic 8-bit Sonic game. Because the 8-bit games came out at roughly the same time as the 16-bit games, they’re rightly not as ...

Microcontrollers have come a long way, with 8-bit MCUs demonstrating tremendous resilience and application innovations through advances in memory, power consumption, packaging, and peripherals. 8-bit ...

While the simplistic answer to the headline is four bits, it’s actually quite a loaded question. A four-bit increase in the scope’s resolution would produce a theoretical improvement of 16 times in ...
