Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A microcontroller has 12 total I/O pins, and they can be divided into 6 bidirectional pins, 3 input-only pins, and 3 output-only pins. If a device requires one bi-directional port, one input-only port, and one output-only port, how many devices can this microcontroller support simultaneously?

💡 Hint: Count the available ports and their purposes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how the design of I/O ports in a new microcontroller can enhance its applications in robotic control systems.

💡 Hint: Consider interactivity needed for robotics.
