What's a Microcontroller? Introductory microcontroller programming tutorial introduces downloading PBASIC code to a BASIC Stamp, building a circuit on a breadboard, and simple circuits with LEDs and pushbuttons. What's a Microcontroller? is our most introductory BASIC Stamp tutorial for education by introducing the essentials of writing a downloading a simple program. It's a starting point for high-school age students, and could serve as a quick-read background reference for higher levels. The first chapters cover the BASIC Stamp software, and breadboarding projects with LEDs and buttons. Advanced projects show how to interface a manual and digital potentiometer, and use a photoresistor to activate servo movement (simulating a grocery store door). The text was written by Matt Gilliland (author of the Microcontroller Application Cookbook). The 124-page tutorial is available for purchase or download, and it may be duplicated for use in an educational environment. Quite easy for the beginner.
