This app is a AVR tutorial based on ATMEGA16 C language. It is suitable for hobbyist or engineering students. Learning AVR mcu is difficult. The learning curve is steep. The process including reading datasheet, writing code, building prototypes and troubleshooting. The most possible errors are the setting wrong value of registers. Now, AVR tutorial Pro is the solution. The code wizard allow you to set the timer, UART, ADC, interrupt and peripherals by just a few clicks in setting. The proven C source code is generated automatically. Though the code wizard is based on ATMEGA16 mcu, it is easy to port to other ATMEGA mcu since the source code is highly structured Features โ€ข AVR architecture review โ€ข AVR asm mnemonics & C language โ€ข 21 demo projects including LED, buzzer, key switch, lcm16x2, ADC, etc โ€ข Code wizard for UART, timer, interrupt, ADC and external peripherals Features in PRO only โ€ข Support I2C eeprom 24C01 (128B) ~ 24C512 (64kB) โ€ข Support SPI eeprom 25010 (128B) ~ 25M02 (256kB) โ€ข Extra demo projects including led matrix 16x16, I2C eeprom, SPI eeprom โ€ข Code wizard for I2C eeprom, SPI eeprom, LCM128x64, etc Atmelยฎ and AVRยฎ are registered trademarks or trademarks of Atmel Corporation or its subsidiaries, in the US and/or other countries.

MicroController Learning Lab is the ultimate interactive learning tool for anyone who wants to understand microcontrollers โ€” from complete beginners to experienced engineers looking to sharpen their skills. Whether you are exploring electronics for the first time or building your next embedded systems project, this app gives you everything you need in one place. What's Inside: Curriculum โ€” Structured lessons covering microcontroller fundamentals, digital I/O, analog sensors, PWM, serial communication, interrupts, and more. Learn at your own pace with clear, focused explanations. Interactive Simulators โ€” Five animated simulators let you visualize how circuits and signals behave in real time. Watch LED blink patterns, PWM duty cycles, ADC conversions, and serial data come to life on screen. Breadboard Lab โ€” Wire up real project circuits on a virtual breadboard. Auto-Wire builds the connections instantly. Then launch the Live Simulation to see your circuit running with animated signals and pin states. Illustrated Diagrams โ€” 30 hand-crafted technical illustrations cover everything from pinout diagrams and circuit schematics to communication protocol timing charts. Real-World Projects โ€” Eight guided projects show how microcontrollers are used in actual applications: soil moisture monitors, weather stations, smart relays, motor controllers, and more. Reference Library โ€” Quick-access tables for GPIO pinouts, register maps, timing values, and common code patterns โ€” everything you need without leaving the app. Microcontrollers Covered: ATmega328P (Arduino Uno), ATtiny85, ESP32, RP2040 (Raspberry Pi Pico), STM32 Who Is This App For: Students in electronics, computer engineering, and robotics courses. Hobbyists building their first embedded project. Engineers who want a fast visual reference on the go. No prior electronics experience required. Start from the basics and build up to real working projects.
