Embedded systems

What are Microcontrollers and their types?
Microcontrollers are broadly utilized in Embedded System products. An Embedded product uses the microprocessor (or microcontroller) to do a single task only. A printer is an instance of embedded system as the processor in it performs single task only namely receiving the data and printing it.

How to blink an LED using the AVR?
In this tutorial, we will learn how can we blink (On and Off) an LED using AVR? Here, we will learn the concept of blinking LED using program in AVR microcontroller.
AVR | Blinking 2 LEDs Alternatively with the help of button.
In this article we would learn a program to blink LEDs using a button such that when our button is in ON condition, LED 1 blinks and when our button is OFF the other LED i.e. LED 2 blinks.
AVR |Blinking 4 LEDs alternatively.
In this program, we will learn how we can blink four LEDs alternately with the help of AVR. This program is almost similar to the last program that we learnt i.e. blinking a single LED using the AVR.
