Basics of Microcontroller

A microcontroller is a very important device during designing of an embedded system. It’s almost used in every electronic device. It plays very important role in processing of the data, data transmission, communication between different devices and displaying various information about the systems on display devices.

Knowledge of microcontroller is very important when we design embedded or digital systems. Few of the examples of microcontroller-based systems are Washing Machin, Printer, Scanner, Home Automation System etc.

There are various microcontroller-based boards available in the market like Arduino, STM32, ARM mbed KL25Z etc., hence to design some projects based on these boards its very important to understand the basics of microcontroller first.

This course is available for all students from schools and colleges. There is no prerequisite required to complete this course just having a few basics of digital electronics is required.
