Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are required to design a simple traffic light controller using the 8051. Describe how you would implement this using UART for communication with a PC and timer interrupts for light duration.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can use UART to receive commands and how you would implement timing with interrupts.

Challenge 2 Hard

Explain the debugging process for timing issues in timer interrupts. What steps would you follow to ensure accurate timing?

💡 Hint: What steps do you take to verify the timer configuration?
