Freescale (NXP) Kinetis KL25Z General Purpose Microcontroller Microcontrollers. As electronics students, you either love them or hate them. But there's no denying that microcontrollers are literally everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. You might not see them directly, but they are hiding in your smartphones and smartwatches, your microwave, and even your washing machine. Each serving various purposes. The fact that microcontrollers can handle tasks efficiently with very little power and minimum damage to your budget makes them ridiculously ubiquitous (oh look I learned a new word). For those of you that are unfamiliar with microcontrollers, here's a quick microcontroller 101 for you. If you already know what they are, you may skip the following paragraph: Microcontrollers, sometimes MCUs (MicroController Units), are basically a tiny computer in one single chip. You can program it to do specific things. For example, in a microwave, it listens to the buttons yo...
