Abstract:
The article presents the design and execution of a startup system based on an Atmel AVR microcontroller. Due to its intended educational use, the system was equipped with a large number of peripherals connected to various microcontroller outputs using pin-cables. The diagram and PCB design feature an ergonomic layout of the microcontroller outputs and peripherals, to ensure clarity of connection. Libraries and examples were written in the C programming language, the code was compiled using Atmel Studio 7 software – the official Atmel programming environment. The startup system provides optimum conditions for learning related to microprocessor technology in the laboratory.
