Mach number demo
Look at those shock waves!
In this post we take a look at a small interactive animation made using p5* graphic library for JavaScript, that shows pressure waves generated by a point travelling at different speeds relative to the speed of sound in the medium. You can select the Mach number using the slider and...

Introduction to machine language
Speaking to the microcontroller!
Last time our compiler generated a few files but we only used the main.ihx one
to flash the microcontroller. In this brief entry we are going to take a look at
some other files to understand what is happening under the hood.
