The micro:bit microcontroller board is designed as an educational device for beginners. However, it assumes that the beginners have obtained PC skills and are able to use block-based programming language. Therefore, visually impaired learners cannot use micro:bit computer. In this paper, we propose a new micro:bit programming environment which does not require a PC.

This project is to create an autonomous robot by using microcontroller PIC16F84A, to detect differential temperature increasing and also avoiding obstacle. The implementation of this project can be separated into three main sections; mechanism, electrical and programming section. This project is to design and build a simple computer-controlled robot that can navigate through the surrounding using two servo motor as the actuators. The movement of the robot is controlled by the brain; PIC 16F84A microcontroller. The robot reacts to the surrounding using two infrared sensor systems and one heat sensor. When the infrared detect object, the input signal from the sensor will be sent to the microcontroller to be analyzed. Then the output signal from the microcontroller will controlled the servo motors to avoid the robot from hitting the object. As for heat sensor is used to detect the heat temperature surrounding the robot. If the surrounding temperature is over from the limit, sensor will send the signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller will analyze the signal to make the robot stop and sound the buzzer. The result of mechanism implementation section is to produce a stable robotic body structure. While the electrical section is to produce gearbox direct current servo motors control system. The robotic requirement was complete with the wheel robotic movement module in the programming section. The Autonomous Smart Robot has ability to travel non stop depending the power supplies.

Abstract- A required junior-level introductory course in microcomputer systems for electrical engineering majors was the basis of a three-year project to enhance student abilities to design microcontroller-based systems. A new PIC18-based circuit board was developed by the authors to serve both as an evaluation board and as a robot controller. A series of five laboratories were developed using the new circuit board, named Trogdor, as an evaluation or test board. The initial series of laboratories had microcontroller interfacing and programming learning objectives related to developing student abilities in assembly language programming, higher-level language embedded systems programming, sensor interfacing, analog-to-digital conversion, and motor control. Following the lab series, this same board was plugged into a low-cost commercially available robot, and served as the robot’s controller for a project to design a robot that would autonomously solve an unknown maze. Students were provided with a robot that had working sensors of two different types, and were encouraged to independently add new sensors and adapt the kit while developing their own solutions.

This paper presents the research work on multicore microcontrollers using parallel, and time critical programming for the embedded systems. Due to the high complexity and limitations, it is very hard to work on the application development phase on such architectures. The experimental results mentioned in the paper are based on xCORE multicore microcontroller form XMOS®. The paper also imitates multi-tasking and parallel programming for the same platform. The tasks assigned to multiple cores are executed simultaneously, which saves the time and energy. The relative study for multicore processor and multicore controller concludes that micro architecture based controller having multiple cores illustrates better performance in time critical multi-tasking environment. The research work mentioned here not only illustrates the functionality of multicore microcontroller, but also express the novel technique of programming, profiling and optimization on such platforms in real time environments.

The article considers the concept of blended learning for organizing the educational process of microcontroller programming courses in educational institutions of a technical profile. The differences between the technology of microcontroller programming and traditional programming are shown and the need to use specialized hardware and software to check the performance of the created programs in real time is substantiated. The most common models of microcontrollers used in the educational process are analyzed, in particular AVR, PIC and STM8, and the feasibility of using microcontrollers of the PIC16F84A family for the initial stages of training is also determined. Special attention is paid to the problems of distance teaching of disciplines related to microcontroller technologies, since the microcontroller software operates directly with physical signals in real time and the configuration and testing of the performance of the software product for microcontrollers takes place on real electronic devices with their own electrical circuits, which include the microcontroller. An effective solution to this problem is the creation of virtual mockups that have their own means of designing and simulating electronic circuits, which allows you to model electronic devices and test programs in a virtual mode. The universal virtual laboratory Labs created by the teachers of the International University and the specialized software PIC_Lab for creating virtual mockups designed to test the operability of the program code without using physical equipment are described. An example of such a virtual mockup "Electromechanical Clock" is given, which demonstrates the principles of controlling a Lave stepper motor. The proposed approach provides the possibility of asynchronous learning, increases the efficiency of learning the material and is suitable for both face-to-face and distance learning.

The suboptimal utilization of Android applications in microcontroller courses at SMK Bhakti Praja Dukuhwaru was the primary motivation for this community service activity. Previously, students had not been fully guided in developing Android applications for effective device control, particularly mobile robots. This situation limited students' knowledge and skills in integrating Android programming technology with microcontroller systems. Therefore, this activity was designed with the primary goal of improving students' knowledge and skills in creating Android applications for mobile robot control using MIT App Inventor. This training activity also included an introduction to the basic concepts of Arduino programming on the ESP8266 microcontroller, which has the ability to connect to Android applications via Bluetooth. The training method was practical and step-by-step, starting with an introduction to the App Inventor interface and features, creating a simple application design, and then proceeding to the programming process for controlling the mobile robot. In addition to controlling the robot, the application was also designed to be applicable to controlling other microcontroller-based electronic devices. The training participants were engineering students at SMK Bhakti Praja Dukuhwaru, who actively participated in the hands-on practice sessions. With a project-based learning approach, students gain not only theoretical knowledge but also hands-on experience designing and testing Android applications connected to microcontroller devices. The expected outcome of this activity is improved student skills in developing Android applications integrated with microcontrollers, as well as a growing interest in robotics technology. Therefore, this activity is expected to make a real contribution to supporting technology-based learning in schools and preparing students for the development of automation and the Internet of Things (IoT)-based industries.

General neural network realizations are in integrated circuit forms. Therefore they are expensive to produce for many non commercial applications. Instead of designing a chip, using a cheap, standard microcontroller for neural network realization will be an optimum solution for many neural network applications. In this work, a Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network was realized by programming the ATMEL 89C51 microcontroller. Training of the network was performed in MATLAB 6.1 environment and weight and bias values were taken from the program. Microcontroller programmed was tested using both training and test data and the results were concluded.
