Elektor remains true to its educational mission with this new Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters, a well-structured, hands-on training course including a training board. Together, the two provide an ideal platform to upgrade your skills and to explore the world of microcontrollers.
More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to get started with microcontrollers and Arduino because information was lacking. Today, there is so much information available that an Arduino newbie still doesn’t know where to begin. This is why Elektor presents the Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters. This course is a well-structured, hands-on training experience including a training board. Together, the two provide an ideal platform to upgrade your skills and to explore the world of microcontrollers.
The Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters comprises a book, a software library, and a training slash development board. From the book, you will learn how to create an application around an Arduino Nano board; the training board lets you build the application and try it out for real.
This hands-on course can help you realize your own projects with a microcontroller.
A Book Full of Practical Examples
The course book teaches you how to create your own projects with a microcontroller, even without much experience in electronics and programming languages. Therefore, it is a practical microcontroller course for beginners. After an overview of the internals of the microcontroller and an introduction to the C programming language, the focus of the course is on practical exercises. There are 12 project sketches and 46 exercises so that your knowledge builds as you work through the many examples.
Learning by Doing
The Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters comes with the Elektor Arduino training board. It consists of an Arduino Nano baseboard that integrates many of the peripheral devices you would generally need in an application. Besides a display, LEDs, a buzzer, and push buttons, the board also exposes the microcontroller GPIOs are all available on two pin header strips. These allow you to connect additional peripherals or external signals.
Therefore, no more worrying about incorrectly wiring the on-board peripherals. No more headaches about finding and fixing bad connections. Also, you will lose less time rummaging through boxes of spare parts to find that elusive component you need to complete a circuit.
A Library Simplifies Coding
A special software library for the Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters makes it even easier to start coding. Its predefined objects take care of some of the low-level chores that you face when writing software. Instead, it lets you concentrate more on the application and less on the details.
Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters
The Microcontrollers Hands-on Course for Arduino Starters is available in English and German from the Elektor Store.
