What Will I Learn?

• Detailed theoretical aspects of ATMEGA32 MCU (Architecture, Clock Sources, Programming Techniques, Fuse and Lock Bits, etc.)
• Detailed concepts of MCU programming and thorough understanding of ATMEGA32 peripherals.
• Programming of Basic ATMEGA32 peripherals (GPIO, UART, ADC, External Interrupts, On - Board NVS, Analog Comparator).
• Working and programming of critical ATMEGA32 peripherals (Timers, Timer CTC Mode, Counter Mode, Timer Input Capture Mode, PWM)
• Some more important topics in MCU programming (Watchdog Timer and Low - Power Modes).
• Implementation of embedded system communication protocols (SPI and I2C) along with interfacing of related external peripherals and MCU to MCU communication.
• Theory and interfacing of Basic external peripherals (LEDs, Pushbuttons, SPDT Relay, 16x2 LCD, DC Motors with L293D / L298N Motor Drivers, Servo Motors).
• More basic peripheral programming (Stepper Motor, Dot Matrix Display, 7 Segment Display).
• Complex peripheral programming (KS0108, ST7920, Nokia 5110 Graphical LCDs and SSD1306 OLED Display).
• Extraction of vital information from datasheet and other relevant technical documents for programming / interfacing on - board or external peripherals.
• Hands - On implementation / testing of each and every circuit and program explained in this course.
• Methods for remote control of standard bench equipment like DSO, Signal Generator and Bench Top DC Power Supply.
