Microcontroller - Computer Systems Engineering Course

Learn about microcontroller technology with this hands-on course! Includes 144 page training book with all the parts necessary for 100 real world experiments and labs.

Students are introduced to microcontrollers, sensors, and programming through 100 experiments. Build devices that use sensors to monitor and record data, and use the data to control motors, buzzers, lights and a digital display.

Learn how to assemble a circuit and write a program to control the devices you build using the detailed step-by-step instructions in the manual. Then, upload the program to the microcontroller using an infrared interface. The program tells the microcontroller how to perform your experiment and store the data. Finally, the data stored in the microcontroller can be downloaded to the computer using the infrared interface.

Course Topics
• Learn how computers and programs work.
• How to design & assemble circuits & write programs.
• Conduct experiments with light, heat and sound sensors.
• Use your devices to collect data.

Microcontrollers — small, self-contained computers — are the “brains” inside dozens of the devices and appliances in your home.

Microwaves, washing machines, telephones, and stereos all have microcontrollers inside them. A microcontroller is a computer-on-a-microchip, and includes a processor, memory for storing data, timers, and ports for connecting to other components.

As our everyday devices become increasingly “smart” with embedded technology, microcontrollers are becoming more and more important.
