====== Microcontroller canonical curriculum ======
:!: //This page is under development.//

Following is a list of the typical stuff to work through. It assumes teaching with a high-level language (e.g., C or JALv2). The order may need to be tweaked.

  * Hello world :: blink LED
  * Basic interaction, polling :: switch controlled LED
  * State, switch bouncing debouncing :: toggle LED with switch
    * S/W debouncing algorithms
      * delay (inline and function or macro)
      * "confidence counting"
    * H/W debouncing
      * S/R flipflop
      * Schmitt trigger
  * Multiple states :: switch toggled multiple LEDs
  * PWM :: switch stepped LED intensity
  * ADC :: {something else} stepped LED intensity
  * Interrupts
    * External :: switch controlled LED rewrite (w/ and w/o state)
    * Timers :: blink LED rewrite
    * Multiple external :: Multiple switch-based {something}
  * Watchdog timers
  * Libraries
    * 7-segment displays
    * LCD displays
  * Communication buses
    * Serial
    * SPI
    * I2C
  * Switch matrices
