IAR’s Visual State, which graphically constructs state-machine models, adds C# and Java code to its C and C++ repertoire. To describe parts of embedded systems, designers will frequently use state ...

How to turn graphical state-machine models into C, C++, C#, or Java code. Why using a tool like Visual State is better than building a state machine in source code. Artificial intelligence and machine ...

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...

State machines are so common that there are tools devoted to creating them by drawing circles and arts. There are simulators that will recognize your state machine ...

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 ...

Function pointers can be used for a wide variety of applications including the implementation of state machines. Just like any tool, it may not always be appropriate to use function pointers for a ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...
