Learn Embedded Systems with one of the most influential and basic microcontrollers in history, 8051

I believe that anyone can learn and experiment with technology.

All that is needed is the desire to learn and the right guidance.  That’s the reason, this course is focused on both

• absolute beginners and

• intermediate developers in embedded systems.

We’re going to study about embedded systems with 8051 microcontrollers in this course.

8051 is by far one of the oldest microcontrollers which are still used today. With over 70+ different manufacturers, 8051 is available in a variety of flavors. What makes it special is the simplicity it offers to the programmers and developers. Being one of the first microcontrollers, the architecture of 8051 is quite simple with very few basic features. And those very basic features make 8051 the winner in terms of simplicity in usage.

In this course, we’ll study 8051 with embedded C programming. We’re going to study about the 8051 microcontrollers with Keil 8051 IDE. Keil Microvision is a very old and very popular IDE used for microcontroller programming.

This is a hands-on driven course where we’ll be writing a lot of codes and trying out its outputs. We’re going to study 8051 microcontroller and its interfacing with a number of peripheral devices like

• LEDs

• Switches

• Relay

• LCD

• ADC

• Temperature Sensor

• Stepper Motor

• DC Motor

• PC Interfacing

• Device Control

And while doing so, we’ll be doing a number of different experiments to evaluate the skills we have been learning. The course outcome is to enable everyone to be able to use 8051 microcontrollers and start creating projects on it.

Even if you do not know any C programming before, do not worry, there’s a brief introduction to C programming also.

This course comes from a developer

From the past 10 years, I've developed more than 150 projects in 8051 microcontrollers alone. This course doesn't come from a trainer following a set syllabus, this comes from a real developer who's involved in real projects for a better part of his career. So there are many practical considerations mentioned from the time to time in this course.
