STC Micro 8051 Microcontroller Notes

Quick Notes

The critical few things you need to know about it are:

  1. They are 1T (single clock cycle) 8051 compatible MCUs (but some instructions may take as many as 5 or 6 clock cycles to complete) and most are capable of operating at up to 35MHz. Check the markings on your part. If it says something like "28I", then it means that your part has been rated to operate at up to 28MHz. Note that rather than use nice round numbers like 12MHz, which is possible, it is more customary to use specific operating frequencies that facilitate the generation of a lower error UART baud rate. I.e., 11.0592MHz, than would otherwise be possible.
  2. They have a built-in bootloader that emits a magic number, then listens on UART0 (RxD, TxD) on bootup. The ISP programmer uses this.
  3. There are two main HEX file download tools, the manufacturer's own STCISP which is an all singing and dancing development support tool (it has pinout information, timer configuration and code generation t

Caretaker maintainership in a nutshell

Caretaker Maintainership

(If this file is included in a project, you can find the list of current caretakers at the bottom.)

In a small classical open-source project, maintainers do a lot, and if maintainers don't have time to do a lot, usually the project stalls. Finding new maintainers is hard because few people actively want to take over all the responsibilities of a project. There must be a different way.

With Caretaker Maintainership, "Maintainers" become "Caretakers". Caretakers' only mandatory responsibility is to grant Releasers commit and publish access to the project.

BABA has PORTAL GUN

Here's how my level implementing Portal in Baba is You works! If you haven't seen it, here's a video: https://streamable.com/9pflr

Baba is You is a game played with the arrow keys. How can Baba fire a portal gun and still have the ability to walk around? The answer: there's one more button the game allows, and that's the wait button - which makes baba stand still and allows a turn to pass in the game world. In this level, the wait button does more than wait - it fires the portal gun.

The skull crosses are a gadget to activate an arbitrary rule when the wait button is pressed. The following rules are used to set it up:

FUNGUS MAKE BABA
BABA ON FUNGUS IS MOVE AND MOVE
BABA ON SKULL IS EMPTY
