Abstract:
This is a free pdf version of the "What's a Microcontroller" book from Parallax. From the preface: This text answers the question "What's a microcontroller?" by showing students how they can design their own customized, intelligent invention with Parallax, Inc.'s BASIC Stamp microcontroller module. The activities in this text incorporate a variety of fun and interesting experiments designed to appeal to a student's imagination by using motion, light, sound, and tactile feedback to introduce new concepts. These activities introduce students to a variety of basic principles in the fields of computer programming, electricity and electronics, mathematics and physics. Many of the activities facilitate hands-on presentation of design practices used by engineers and technicians in the creation of modern machines and appliances, using common inexpensive parts.
