The purpose of this
note is to equip students to competently design small, embedded microcontroller
systems. This note uses a microcontroller as a component in electronic system
design.Our target microcontroller, the Atmel ATMega128, provides extensive I/O
and peripherals. It will be considered as a flexible logic component to be
embedded into a system.

This note covers the following topics:
Introduction to Microcontrollers, Intel 8051 Microcontroller, PIC
Microcontrollers, Architecture of Advanced Microprocessors and Experiments on
Microcontrollers.
This
application note describes a digital thermostat based on the MAXQ3212 RISC
microcontroller. This simple system senses the ambient temperature, compares it
to a user-input set point, and switches an output relay as a result of this
comparison.
This note provides basic implementation details and
procedural information to design and assemble a stepper motor system. Covered
topics are: General System Information, Assembly Procedures, Hardware
Development and Software Development.
This article explains
the operating principals of stepper motors, and gives instructions on how to
control them via a PIC16F84 microcontroller to perform many functions.
