Crash Course Arduino and Microcontroller Development is designed to transform the complex world of embedded engineering into an accessible and enjoyable experience for students and hobbyists alike. This unique course covers a wide range of topics from the ground up, requiring no impossible prerequisites. With over 128 lectures and 111+ hours of video content, my aim was to create a comprehensive guide that takes you from a novice to a confident master in embedded engineering, microcontrollers, and Arduino.
We will explore everything from basic electronics and microprocessor architecture to the intricacies of the Arduino platform, ARM, and programming. You'll learn essential C/C++ programming skills to write your own code, optimize it, and understand advanced concepts like interrupts, data structures, multitasking, and object-oriented programming. Using simulators, compilers, IDEs, CAD, schematic entry programs, and various electrical test equipment, we will uncover the mysteries of communication protocols and signals, allowing you to see and understand the underlying processes.
Our journey will be hands-on and practical, with each lecture combining theory, calculations, and real-world examples. We'll build simulations, construct physical hardware, test, and run our creations. This is not a scripted course but a genuine, one-on-one learning experience where I share my 40+ years of expertise in electronics and coding. Expect to have fun, learn deeply, and maybe even blow a few things up along the way!
Additionally, this course includes my college textbook, "Design Your Own Video Game Console" (aka "The Black Art of Video Game Console Design"), free of charge in PDF format. This 800+ page book will serve as a valuable reference throughout the course.
Join me in this exciting adventure into the world of embedded engineering and unlock your potential to create anything you can imagine.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone that wants to learn about the Arduino, Microcontrollers and Embedded Engineering.
- Coders and programmers that want to explore the hardware side of development at the level of microcontrollers.
- Hobbyists and hackers that want to learn about the "Arduino" platform, what it is, and how to use it to build projects, gadgets, and contraptions.
- Students that want a single course that covers everything from the ground up, so by the end they can think of an embedded project, design, code, and build it with confidence.
