Microcontroller project - please suggest something

I know how to code in Assembly Language for 8051 Microcontroller. Can anybody suggest me a small project so that I can get deeper understanding about the Microcontroller?

hi

If you are really familiar with the Assembly Language for 8051 microcontroller. Starting with the smaller project is a good idea. If you are really interested please do the projects which are given in the book 8051 MICROCONTROLLER by AYALA,that would give you a good starting experience for your further/future big projects

Re: Microcontroller project

Check out Dr Michael J Pont's

website.**broken link removed**

He authors a few books on 8051 microcontroller, such as the easy to read EMBEDDED C. 8)

I suggest you to use a simulator if you don't have real hardware. See how the program are running does help a lot.

Re: Microcontroller project

And install Proteus software and run some samples on 8051. Could be helpfull in codes understanding.

option 1. Find a simulator. Try to find execution environment on internet.
According to that environemnt's setting to do some practice.
option 2. Spend money, buy 8051 tool kit (board), according to that board's environment, write some code, upload your code into board, look the result.

suggest a Microcontroller project broard

kindly suggest
-which board is good for newbies and which contain 8051 along with fpga/dsp
and
-which simulator will be good for newbies

I'm starting coding in C for 8051 but I don't know where to begin. I choose Keil C uVsion for my programming environment and Complier.

- Is there any difference between C and C for 8051?
- What is better. Keil C and Proteus?
- Can you recommend me some websites that assist me in programming 8051 in C

Re: Microcontroller project

Is the 8051 a chip from Atmel? If so, have you checked out this website?

www.avrfreaks.com

It's a really useful (and massive) resource, with all sorts of projects and tutorial stuff, forums for posting questions etc. There's a huge number of people using it on a daily basis, which makes getting answers to questions a lot easier.

If the 8051 is not made by Atmel, maybe you can try looking at the Atmel 8515 or Atmel mega16 microcontrollers, which are now becoming very common for many industrial applications. The 8515 is practically an industry standard, relatively easy to program. The STK500 programmer board is used to program both these chips, as well as most of the current Atmel range.

1) build an clock which has alarm and remainder functions.
2) try to send some commands to MCU via COM port of your computer. for example send a command via Hyper Terminal to turn on a led.

:arrow: For beginners, microcontroller based temperature measurement issue would be the best project. By this way it is possible to deal with synchronization and organization of different peripheral devices (Temp. detector, ADC, 7 segment driver etc.) with your microcontroller. For further progress keypad applications would be very helpfull.

Re: Microcontroller project

i would agree with "carrot" about that ayala book it's very good, however you are not limited to assembly "thank god" for programming microcontrollers, personally i would recommend you getting one of those cypress development kits, i had one myself until recently, (should set you back about 500 euro) but you can get some example projects off their website and sample source code, also you get a trial version of uvision which is great programe for coding on a microcontroller.

use a simulator to test some codes.

semiconductor asked " Is there any difference between C and C for 8051? "
for programming 51,a variation of ANSI C is used which is different from c++ that generally is used in computer programming. some keywords are added to meet special programming needs of microcontrollers. libraries that you have are very limited compare to C in computer programming and it differs from compiler to compiler. however it is very powerfull and allows you to do almost anything you want especially when you combine it with assembly.

I suggest you can begin to understand all kinds of interface with MPU. Example: I2C , SPI , CAN , USART...etc. Because you have to use MPU control other chip via these interface.

Try doing serial communication with a PC and display any text etc. on an LCD.

You can start with a small program to interface the PC using your UART.
