The HC11 has been around for a while. It is located on the higher-end of the 8bit Microcontroller market. It is comes in many different versions. Every version is highly configurable and easy to program. It is one of the most versatile general purpose 8bit microcontrollers around! Off the shelf boards are offered plenty and support is great, from a high number of vendors. GenerExe engineers have helped to put these little wizards to work in many harsh environments, ranging from sounding rockets to helicopters!
![]() What can the HC11 do I cannot do with a lower-end microcontroller?
The HC11 is a grownup standalone computer! An 8bit version of what you have on your desktop, in a smaller package, but it can theoretically do the same:

The interrupt- and timer functionality of the HC11 allow for serious multitasking applications, while being close enough to the action to provide sufficient realtime response!

![]() After assiging protocols to the pins, the involved driver-libraries and driver-handles to access the pins are automatically available in XPad's editors. When you change the clock-speed here, the compiler will automatically re-calculate the right delays to comply to the specification of any supported protocols.
