Udemy – Crash Course Arduino and Microcontroller Development 2025-1

Crash Course Arduino and Microcontroller Development, this 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!

What you’ll learn

• Learn about microcontrollers, microprocessors and their internal architecture including how instructions are executed, ALUs, Buses, MMUs, DMA and more.
• Master embedded engineering theory and pratice from blinking an LED to building complex systems with sensors, actuators and displays.
• Learn the Arduino platform’s hardware, software and APIs as a working platform to bridge the gap to more complex systems like ARM later in the course.
• Understand C/C++ from the ground up and how to write effective firmware for embedded systems and memory/compute constrained systems.
• Learn how processors run at the bare metal level including inline and external assembly language programming and interfacing with C/C++.
• Conquer advanced Computer Science subjects such as optimization theory, data structures, recursion, interrupts, and Big O analysis.
• Explore multitasking on microcontrollers by developing an interrupt based-round-robin kernal as well as using FreeRTOS.
• Become expert in numerous tools such as compilers, Arduino IDE, TinkerCAD, EasyEDA, Replit, VSCode, CodeLite, WokWi, Fritzing, MPLabX, STM32CubeIDE, and more.
• Learn electronics fundamentals like Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws, circuit analysis, how passive components work, transistors, and FETs.
• Understand the basics of analog and digital systems and building both combinational and sequential logic circuits with TTL/CMOS ICs.
• Overcome programmable logic and the fundamentals of CPLDs, PALs, GALs, and FPGAs along with a primer on hardware description languages and CUPL.
• Understand various memories types such as FLASH, RAM, SRAM, EEPROM and their different applications.
• Conquer power management and sleep modes and how to shut peripherals down in your embedded designs, wake from interrupts, and manage power effectively.

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.

Content of Crash Course Arduino and Microcontroller Development

Requirements

• A Windows, MacOS, or Linux PC/Laptop to run the desktop applications. But, a tablet or phone will suffice for students that simply want to watch lectures and follow me on the bench.
• This is a hands on course, we build projects with the Arduino platform, so to follow along with the physical builds students will have to purchase Arduino hardware and other components.
• This course teaches electronics, microcontrollers, C/C++, and embedded engineering from the ground up, so no prior knowledge is needed!
• The goal of this course is to teach fundamentals through theory, discussions and hands-on coding and builds on the bench. So, patience and time are needed, but they will pay off!
