Hello everyone. I work on a lot of automotive electronics and struggle to understand the MCU and its role in embedded technology. I have two questions:
1. How does a microcontroller send an instrument cluster for example, into its 3 second self test when it looks at all the warning lights and gauges etc. Is there a specific pin that this can be watched on?
2. Are there any good tutorials in laymans terms to walk one through understanding an MCU to a point where one can understand the steps that they go through in operation?
Thank you in advance.
