MICROCONTROLLER PROGRAMMING AND INTERFACING IN C

A PRACTICAL DESIGN BASED CRASH COURSE ON ATMEL-AVR CORE

MICROCONTROLLER PROGRAMMING AND INTERFACING IN C

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF ARE GROOMED IN JUST SIX WEEKS TO BUILD AND PROGRAM REAL-LIFE MICROCOMTROLLER-BASED SYSTEMS THAT CAN PROCESS BOTH AND DIGITAL SIGNALS WITH ACCURACY????

• whether you are a begineer a mid -level embedded programmer , student of any branch of engineering, or sciences or a professional working in industry; this course will help you a lot!
• Build and program from simple ON/OFF system to complex microcontrollers-based systems (solving higher order differential equations in real-time, PID control systems, etc)yourself
• Say bye-bye to 8051 microcontroller and switch to ATMEL-AVR RISC microcontrollers that offer many advanced features and provide easy yet powerful C language enviornment.
• We will teach you C coding (similar to what yopu write to program your PC) for the AVR microcontroller chip to perform complex tasks. During these tasks in assembly can be both difficult and time consuming.
• No need of any external programmer .Other than Windows , no licence software required for development. You can make a basic AVR-microcontroller-based systems from as low as Rs500/-.
• Connect your home PC with the AVR chip and transform your imagination into real systems.
• No prior knowledge of microcontroller or C is required . We will teach you both.
• The course will cover the necessary theory and hand-on practical programming techniques.
• Get yourself registered and become  a practical microcontroller programmer in just SIX WEEKS!
