Yes, most MCU's can not multi task it can run only one program at a time, so if you run a stepperor servo motor from one MCU it will slow down the whole program so, if you have send the command from the main MCU to the other one that is controlling the stepper or servo the main MCU can go on doing other things while the stepper MCU can take its time taking the stepper motor thru its paces If you have to run more than one stepper and using only one MCU, the MCU will have to drive the one stepper with one pulse and then the next stepper, you don't need a large MCU to drive a stepper only 4 bits is needed a 8 pin PIC like the PIC12F675 is all you need, GP0 to GP3 can drive the stepper while the chip can receive commands on GP5 that is a input pin only ,then you still have GP4 spare to drive a LED or a relay or you can use it as a DTR to send an interrupt to the main MCU and tell it that its done with the last command and ready for the next.

A string of commands can be received by the 12F675 in serie on one pin and be stored in onboard EEPROM for use as needed

Can you mill red hot glowing steel?

No machining is advisable when material to be machined is red hot rather it can be forged, extruded. Primary machining only is normally advisable when material is red hot.


Why ore of copper is not concentrated by hydraulic washing?

Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.


What is the meaning of embed systems?

Embedded systems are specialized computing devices designed to perform dedicated functions within larger systems. They typically consist of a microcontroller or microprocessor, software, and associated peripherals, all integrated into a single unit. These systems are used in a wide range of applications, from household appliances and automotive controls to industrial machines and medical devices, often operating in real-time and with limited resources. Their design focuses on efficiency, reliability, and specific task execution rather than general-purpose computing.


Can you take voltmeter on plane?

Yes, you can take a voltmeter on a plane, but there are some restrictions. It is advisable to carry it in your checked luggage rather than your carry-on, as it may be subject to extra scrutiny at security checkpoints. Always check the airline's regulations and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines for specific rules regarding electronic devices.


How is commingled recycled material separated?

Fully commingled, or single-sort, recycling is the system in which papers fibers, metals, and plastics are mixed in a collection trunk rather than being separated into separate commodities. This method is designed so that commingled materials can be handled all at once. Later, the materials will be separated at a materials recovery facility.

Why is it advisable to use Nss as an emulsifier rather than the water?

Nss is a surfactant that can help stabilize and emulsify oil and water mixtures better than just water. It can form a protective layer around the oil droplets, preventing them from coalescing. This leads to a more stable emulsion that is less likely to separate over time.


What is the opposite of separate starting with you?

The opposite of "separate" starting with "you" is "unite." While "separate" implies division or isolation, "unite" suggests coming together or forming a cohesive whole. This concept emphasizes collaboration and connection rather than isolation.
