based on the new Elektor Arduino Nano MCCAB Trainingboard Thanks to the Arduino approach, even non-professionals can implement their ideas. In light of the current particularly intensive promotion of STEM subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural science, and technology) in schools, Arduino appears a great learning tool. In this microcontroller practical course for starters, you will learn how to develop your own projects with a microcontroller even if you have no prior knowledge with electronics or programming. The Arduino IDE is a software development environment that can be downloaded for free to your own PC. It offers the complete software package that you need for your own microcontroller projects. You'll code your programs ("apps") in the C programming language using the editor of the Arduino IDE on your PC. Using the IDE's built-in compiler, you'll translate them into the bits and bytes that the microcontroller understands and load them into the microcontroller's memory via a USB cable. To create your programs, you don't even need to know the inner life of a microcontroller. The Arduino model provides many free libraries (a kind of "app store") to help you control the function blocks of the microcontroller. These libraries contain readymade "software packages" called functions, which you can integrate into your programs like a "black box". Elektor Arduino Nano MCCAB Training Board The MCCAB training board helps you implement your projects. This board is connected to the PC via a USB cable. It contains an Arduino microcontroller module as well as all the components needed for our exercises, such as LEDs, switches, pushbuttons, acoustic signal generators, and more. External sensors, motors or modules can also be polled or controlled with our microcontroller exercise system. The emphasis of the course is on hands-on exercises. In the first section, you will learn the fundamentals of the hardware and software. The extensive practical part starts with chapter 4 and is quite simple at first. With each additional exercise, new hardware and software components are added and explained. In this way, the beginner gains step by step an increasing level of understanding of the possibilities offered by a microcontroller. However, every reader should first study the operating instructions of the MCCAB training board carefully before using it for the first time.
Wolfgang Trampert has been involved in the construction and programming of microcontrollers and their peripherals since his studies in electronics. As the owner of an engineering company, he has developed microcontrollercontrolled products on request. He is active as an author of technical books and articles and conducts training courses on the subject of microcontrollers.
