System for embedded microcontroller and method
View Patent ↗The invention is system for emulating a target application comprises a computer, and a capsular including a microcontroller, a programmable non-volatile memory, a numeric display, a transceiver for transmitting and receiving data, a real time clock and at least one input device interacting with a program run on the microcontroller. The capsular is couplable to the computer and adapted to fit in a housing. The input device is operable both when the capsular is inside the housing and when the capsular is outside the housing.
1. A system for emulating a target embedded microcontroller system in a target application comprising: comprising:
a computer;
a housing; and
a capsular including
a microcontroller, of a same type as a microcontroller in the target embedded microcontroller system and operable to run the same software program,
a programmable non-volatile memory,
a numeric display,

a real time clock, and
at least one input device interacting with a program run on said microcontroller,
wherein said capsular is adapted to couple to said computer and adapted to fit in said housing;
wherein said capsular is operable to be placed in a target environment of the target embedded microcontroller system; and
said input device is operable when said capsular is inside said housing and when said capsular is outside said housing.
2. The system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
said capsular further includes a top plate configured to serve as an antenna.
3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein:
said top plate has a cutout for said display.
4. The system according to claim 1 , wherein:
said capsular has a maximum diameter of less than 5 cm.
