A Tutorial on Mobile Embedded Systems
This tutorial material is intended to be a primer for working with microcontrollers and to realize simple applications based on this versatile embedded system. The tutorial covers the basic principles of microcontroller including digital and analog interfaces, low power modes, interrupts, timers, synchronous and asynchronous serial communications, and wireless communications. In the end, the reader is expected to be able to build a simple wireless embedded application. The tutorial has a focus on mobile and wearable embedded systems.
