@article{Świtalski_Rabczuk_2019, author = {Świtalski, Emilian and Rabczuk, Dorota}, title = {Design and Construction of a Startup System for Learning to Program Microcontrollers}, journal = {Scientific Journal of Gdynia Maritime University}, number = {111, pages = {17-23}, year = {2019}, url = {http://zeszyty.am.gdynia.pl/artykul-2700.html}, The article presents the design and execution of a startup system based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller. Due to its intended educational use, the system was equipped with a large number of peripherals connected to various microcontroller outputs using pin-cables. The diagram and PCB design feature an ergonomic layout of the microcontroller outputs and peripherals, to ensure clarity of connection. Libraries and examples were written in the C programming language, the code was compiled using Atmel Studio 7 software – the official Atmel programming environment. The startup system provides optimum conditions for learning related to microprocessor technology in the laboratory. }, e-issn={2541-2486}, publisher = {Gdynia Maritime University}, keywords = { AVR, Atmega, Atmel, microprocessor, devboard, eagle, pcb, embedded systems}, doi = {https://www.doi.org/10.26408/111.02} }
