Power Points for "What is a Microcontroller?"


It is hoped this new format will be a better instructional method for programming, electronics and system design.  If you have children, this material is also a great resource for fun, learning and for science projects.

If you plan on selling your text/kit to students in future courses, please keep careful track of all materials and parts.

If you have problems joining the BlackBoard course or ordering, please contact me.
