As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, a state machine diagram presents a very clear view of the design, and so provides a good example to students. As opposed to conditional flag-centric code, ...

A recent EDN article dealt with a number of programming tips for embedded microcontrollers. One of those tips, using state machines, is a programming approach that is especially useful, yet probably ...

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 ...

Many embedded software applications are natural candidates for mechanization as a state machine. A program that must sequence a series of actions, or handle inputs differently depending on what mode ...

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 ...
