Description
A programming course with hands on experience for those interested in entering the exciting field of Embedded Systems Programming. You will learn about microcontroller architecture and how to program them using Microchip Assembly. The format is 50% lecture followed by 50% coding. We’ll learn about the following:

interrupts

Variables

datasheets

schematics

PWM

ADC

Timers

Memory

Binary and Hexadecimal

Boolean logic

ALU

GPIOs

LEDs

Switches

Potentiometers

Clocks

Assembly language Instructions

Simulation

Debugging

Microcontroller Architecture

And much more. This course is intended for those with little or no experience with coding or hardware knowledge. Whether you are a DIY type, student, inventor or professional looking to learn a new skill, this course is for you.

Who this course is for
Someone with little or no prior knowledge or experience with micro controllers or programming
Those who have a desire to seek employment in the embedded systems field
Current students who seek a more practical and hands on experience
Potential inventors who are interested in product creation
Robotics students or those who are interested in robotics
My students want to get started in a new career. They may be currently in a class but feel they need a little more help to get them along. They may have heard about Embedded Systems from a friend or family member but don’t know exactly how to get started.
