IAR’s Visual State, which graphically constructs state-machine models, adds C# and Java code to its C and C++ repertoire. To describe parts of embedded systems, designers will frequently use state ...

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 ...

Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens. They’re ok, but state machines are absolutely on our short list of favorite things. There are probably as many ways to implement a state machine as there ...

The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...

Function pointers can be used for a wide variety of applications including the implementation of state machines. Just like any tool, it may not always be appropriate to use function pointers for a ...

State machines are so common that there are tools devoted to creating them by drawing circles and arts. There are simulators that will recognize your state machine ...
