Microcontrller canonical curriculum
Caution: This page is under development and is clouded by the author's lack of comprehensive experience with microcontroller programming.
Following is a typical basic 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
