How does Lightcast define a skill?
Microcontrollers

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit that is designed to perform specific tasks. It is widely used in embedded systems to control various devices such as appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, and more. Working with microcontrollers requires specialized skills such as programming in languages such as C, assembly language, and familiarity with hardware components. The ability to design, develop and troubleshoot microcontroller-based systems is essential for engineers and developers working in the field of electronics and embedded systems.

Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique used for controlling the amount of power delivered to a load through the manipulation of the duty cycle of a pulse waveform. It is commonly used in electronics, robotics, and other industrial applications to regulate the speed of motors, the brightness of LEDs, and other types of power-related performance. Successfully understanding this technique and its applications requires specialized knowledge and skills in electrical engineering and signal processing.

RS-232 is a standard for serial communication transmission of data between computers and other devices. It uses a specific set of electrical voltages to represent bits of information and is commonly used in industries such as telecommunications, automation, and industrial control systems. Understanding and working with RS-232 requires specialized knowledge and skill.

RS-485 is a standard for serial communication that allows multiple devices to communicate over long distances using a single bus or cable. It is commonly used in industrial control systems and building automation systems. RS-485 requires specialized knowledge and skill to implement and troubleshoot, as it involves complex electrical characteristics and communication protocols.

Serial Communications refers to the method of transmitting data one bit at a time over a single communication channel. This skill encompasses the understanding of protocols, interfaces, and hardware used to facilitate communication between devices, such as computers and peripherals. Knowledge of Serial Communications is utilized in various applications, including data logging, device control, and inter-device communication, by enabling reliable and efficient data exchange.
