CS-241-MN: Embedded System with AVR Microcontroller-S.Y.B.Sc. (Computer Science) Sem-III

posted by Hamid Sayyed • November 15, 2025 • 0 Comments

This course helps students clearly understand the basics of embedded systems and the role of microcontrollers in real applications. It introduces the AVR family, its architecture, memory organisation, internal registers, and the essential development tools used in industry. Students also learn to write efficient C programs for AVR microcontrollers and use important on-chip peripherals like timers, counters, ADC, serial communication, SPI, and I2C. Along with theory, the course focuses on practical interfacing of LCDs, sensors, motors, relays, and DAC/ADC modules so that learners can design and test complete embedded projects. After completing the course, students will be able to explain embedded concepts, compare microcontrollers and microprocessors, understand AVR architecture, write working C programs, interface external hardware, and finally design small embedded applications that integrate multiple peripherals smoothly.
