Learn AVR Microcontroller Programming

I recall time when I had question where and how to learn microcontroller programming. It was time of ARDUINO or to say ARDUINO ERA. Everybody was trying to get their hand dirty with it. I did the same thing but at the same time realized that using Arduino libraries hide features of underlying chip. I believe AVR is a great microcontroller architecture  to get start with. I don't recommend beginners to waste their time with Arduino toys. Rather I suggest to buy any AVR ATmega chip and jump start with it. I appreciate AVR community for maintaining enough resources and easy to follow user guides. This would be very helpful for beginners to get start their journey into wonderful world of microcontroller.

In this post I'll present to you resources and links. This resources would be provided in sequence from introduction & software installation to interface sensors. You'll even get comfortable with most of the microcontroller interfaces by the end of this series. I prefer to go with AVR ATmega32/32A chip. This ATmega32/32A is generic and available at most of a local stores. This chip is powerful enough to have a fun and build product at the same time.

LIST: AVR MICROCONTROLLER TUTORIALS

1. Introduction
2. Basics of AVR ATmega32A Microcontroller
3. Program AVR ATmega32A (Software+Hardware)
4. Accessing IO- Blink LED
5. Accessing IO- Button Switch
6. Timer Counter in AVR ATmega32A
7. Interrupt in AVR ATmega32A
8. PWM Brightness Control in AVR ATmega32A
9. Interface LCD with AVR ATmega32A
10. Eclipse under Linux for AVR- Step-by-Step guide
11. AVR FUSE BITS- Setting Clock Source: Example Project
12. USART: Communicate AVR ATmega32A with PCs Terminal
13. ADC (Analog-to-Digital Conversion) to read Potentiometer on PCs Terminal

KEY FEATURES: These links will help you to get prepare for WINDOWS as well as Ubuntu LINUX. This tutorials focuses on almost every aspect of AVR ATmega32A. Also along with you'll be provided with plenty of YouTube videos to demonstrate experiments straight away.

In future post we'll see more advance stuffs along the series of AVR ATmega32A. There is more you can do with AVR. As time rolls on I'll  add more to the series. Anyways I hope you will find these tutorials educational and entertaining. If you have any question please leave a comments.

How to Prepare for Embedded Systems Interview

Preparing embedded systems interview challenges many of young’s or even sometimes experienced candidates. I have been in this field since long and realised there is reason why so ?......Embedded Systems is all about skills, only well rounded engineers with skills and knowledge is in demand. This is one of most versatile and diversified field. Most of employers expect a quick result from candidate and that raise expectation bar. If you’re fresher then it’s even more challenging. I have seen from my experience that we have to be very specific about what we are talking about its an “Embedded Systems” which has two flavours one is Embedded Software and Embedded Hardware some people called Hardware Engineers. As an embedded system engineers often believed that you have good foundation of electronics which is main stream field. This post is just a beginning of series, so I am not focusing on inside view. In future post I will share more about very specific to particular interview. In this post I have listed out some of good material that would help you to prepare for your next embedded systems interview.

EMBEDDED SYSTEMS INTERVIEWS: USUEFUL LINKS

• Interview Question Answers on 8086 Microprocessor
• Interview Question Answers on 8051 Microcontroller
• Interview Question Answers on Basics of EmbeddedProcessors-I
• Interview Question Answers on Basics of EmbeddedProcessors-II
• Interview Guide for Embedded C Programmer

I recommend fresh graduates to go step-by-step not just jump start on something big. Instead try to develop yourself START SMALL THINK BIG AND MOVE FAST for sustainable growth in Embedded Systems. This is great field once you develop skills you’ll be proud member of embedded community which has widely accepted as smart engineers. I hope these listed blogs will help you to prepare well for your next Embedded Systems Job Interview:

I’ll keep on updating this post as time rolls on so keep book mark this page into your browser

Thanks Friends and Good Luck

Best Wishes

Learn Embedded Systems in Pune

LEARN EMBEDDED SYSTEM IN PUNE

If you are a student of Engineering Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Electrical or Instrumentation. Here is opportunity to learn embedded systems in Pune, India. As a author of WWW.BINARYUPDATES.COM, We would like to share our experience about microcontroller programming by teaching Embedded System in Pune. Our training will focus entirely on practical know-how about microcontroller programming. I encourage candidates who have interest in electronics and want to pursue long term career in embedded system.

TRAINEE PROFILE:

Umesh Lokhande started his career as Research Intern at Laser Imaging Systems Gmbh & Co. KG, Germany. Later on worked with several companies like IBW, Alere Technologies GmbH and TinkerSky Electronics (P) Ltd. This several years long experience allowed him to build expertise in embedded system. He loved to build open source hardware and teach at the same time. He has great contribution to embedded system community through YouTube Channel.

TRAINING MODULE- EMBEDDED SYSTEM

We are providing training on different microcontroller including 8051, AVR, PIC, ARM7 LPC2148, Cortex-M3 LPC1768. Our training also covers a majority of open source hardware including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beagle Board etc. We also have specialized training module for Physical Computing and PCB Design. We teach CadSoft Eagle to design printed circuit board.

Microcontroller training will be covered by professional trainers having industry experience.
The training will cover theory sessions as well as practicals. We will cover all interfacing programs from basic hardware to modern high speed interfaces. More focus will be on building several projects during laboratory session. The most of training material been provided through web pages. This would help trainers to updates material as and when needed. Support will be provided even after training.

If you're interested and want to join us. We invite you to visit us at our training center in Pune, India
