This week’s post is on another cool side project, Hackerbox 113 : “Hardcore“. Hardcore is an intro to 8-bit microcontroller technology using modern variants of the Intel 8051, also known as “The Immortal MCU“. The 8015 is a CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) with separate memory spaces for program instructions and data. The goal of this project was to build a usb programmer for microcontrollers, write a simple program to program the blank 8051, and demo some applications of microcontrollers…

This is something I aim to address as I progress…
