hI guys i'm a beginner for learning micro-controllers. Can any one suggest me a relatively easy beginner level micro-controller based project? Thanks :grin:
 

Just check out google for embedded projects. You can find it in plenty. Sort the projects & just start doing it. Refer the datasheets & if any doubt arises just post your doubts & make it cleared.

As welove8051 said start your learning by blinking some leds in different pattern.
use some delays in between blinking of leds.
Then move on to 7-segment and so on...
Which micro-controller and compiler you are going to use.
I am using PIC microcontrollers and CCS Compiler for programming.
 

Yes. That would be fine... Climb the steps from bottom to top & you will be rewarded.

Jerin.:);-)

Blinking LEDs is a good place to start, then worth having a look at delay routines. A good little project to try once you can do both of the above is a stepper motor driver, this involves changing outputs in a certain order to generate waveforms that drive the motor. Its pretty easy going and a good place to start, was one of my first PIC projects, only problem is that you will need to build a lil bit of circuitry to drive the motor as the microcontroller port wont be strong enough to drive the motor itself.

well, as mentionned above u should take it one step at a time. start by knowing how to use ur ports, then move on to more complicated things like delays, then move to timers, then understand different important internal registers. for practise, start by switching an led, then make it blink, interface with an external device like a temperature sensor and a 7 segment display, then move on to a bit more difficult stuff like make ur own watch and display it on an lcd. then u can play around with serial comms, and I2C things. it all sounds cmplicated, but if u can cover it, u can be sure you have a pretty good idea of microcontrollers!
good luck!!!
