Can I learn MicroControllers??
-
Hi guys,plz advise....Basically I am a Computer Science student not Electrical Engg/Electronics.I have just learned the programming courses and a little about Operating System and Computer Networks. I have following courses in my current semester 1) System Programming 2) Computer Architecture 3) Compiler Construction 4) Adv. OOP (JAVA) 5) Artificial Intelligence Can I learn Micro Controllers....how much I will be successful in this course??

But no longer in 2009...I know it will be difficult for me....as due to some reasons I could not get the preliminary education for this field (like Digital Logic and Design and some other engineering courses etc). At current age, im beginning to make my base strong in databases, .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. I think it should not be wise to divert my attention from one field to another....

I don't see why not. The skills necessary for working with microcontrollers follow quite logically from the background in discrete math and the natural sciences that most CS degrees require. Recently, I wrote an article that could legitimately be described as an introduction to Computer Engineering for Computer Scientists. I thought about posting this here, but my feeling was that the subject matter was not quite right for this site. Also, the document is a bit long, and has many figures. It would be time consuming to move it from Word into the HTML format demanded by this site. I'd encourage you to take a look, though. The document is available online at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ET-3400/files/WBeau30/[^]. You'll need a Yahoo ID, but that's not difficult to obtain. Another suggestion is to get something like the "PICKit 2" from Microchip Technologies. This is a self-contained introduction to microcontrollers. It's inexpensive and contains a set of lessons based around PIC assembly language. In the course of these, you'll deal with digital and analog signals and other microcontroller-specific topics.
