Abstract

The article offers information on the design idea that aims to convert sensor data into human-understandable format. It notes that the standard approach is to use a high-level language and a compiler. However, compilers produce machine code that occupies more memory, runs slower, and is costly. The better option, it states, is to use assembly language with an equation that will let users perform the calculations with integer arithmetic only and select a microcontroller with less memory.
