Hey there dudes!
Eventhough I'm not in 100% Electronic Engineering course (Medical Engineering), but learning microcontrollers will be a fun thing to do too!
All I have in my head now is a completed study course of Digital Electronics (1 semester), Analogue Electronics (1 sem), Fundamentals of Electrics and Electronics (2 sems), and one Electrical Machines and Drives (1 sem). In my next sem, I'll be studying Microcontroller + Microprocessor (1 sem) but all it pertained is the 68HC11 chip.
But I have only started reading up some fundamentals of computer architecture like 8086/8 and a wee bit of assembly language. Upon reading the sticky, I found out that I might need to understand all of these thingy before I have to dive into the world of microcontrollers.
So, I found out a local retailer of mine have PIC 16F84 which costs a few dollars. And some empty breadboards too.
Is a PIC 16F84 a good start? I need a serial port right, and then I have to find a program to make the microcontroller happen?
