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.

About

PseudoLearn

Features
Read full description

PseudoLearn is a learning environment for writing and running pseudocode. Write an algorithm and step through it at four different speeds. As it runs, the code, the flowchart, the Nassi-Shneiderman structogram, the UML class diagram and the trace table all point at the same instruction. Watching them move together is what turns a list of steps into an idea you actually understand. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข An editor with live diagnostics that mark the exact range of the problem as you type. โ€ข Guided step-by-step execution with pace control. โ€ข Flowchart, Nassi-Shneiderman structogram and UML class diagram, synchronized with execution. โ€ข A trace table that inspects variables, arrays and references between objects. โ€ข Translation of your algorithm into Python and Rust, so you can see the same idea written in an industrial language. โ€ข A knowledge base of fifteen modules across three levels, with activities and checkable exercises. โ€ข Exercise checking against visible and hidden cases: it tells you what is missing, without punitive scoring. โ€ข A personal library of documents, available offline and synchronized across your devices. WHO IT IS FOR For anyone starting to program who needs to see what their algorithm does, and for anyone teaching it who wants to show them. Available in Spanish and English.
