I have 4 GPIO pins and 5 devices to connect. Can I multiplex two devices, and how?

I believe that's much more EE related (attaching a demux chip or building one in discrete.) Although, depending on the devices and what they are attached to, a combination of software and hardware might be a viable, if discouraged answer (e.g. driving both power and ground). Still, I think despite the clear overlap with EE, we should welcome such questions here. – SF. Jan 29 '13 at 9:01

The proposal targets "for those who design and program embedded systems", and adding a mux to a microcontroller certainly qualifies as part of an embedded system design. – Adam Lawrence Mar 17 '13 at 17:40

If space, complexity, and speed were not an issue, would it be cheaper to implement an if-then-else analog signal analysis on a PSoC or discrete ICs?

How to implement an FFT ?

its an signal processing question – Quonux Aug 1 '13 at 22:16
That's fair. Let me reword so that its how to implement an FFT. That should be an embedded question. – efox29 Aug 2 '13 at 1:00
