Software experiments using an 8085 Kit to learn its instruction set. Hardware experiments for the use of peripherals like 8251 (USART). Experiments using a development board to learn the instruction set and assembly programming for the 8051 family of microcontrollers. Experiments to learn Port IO, control of on-chip peripherals such as timers, interfacing with off-chip peripherals such as LCD displays, Keyboards, Stepper motors, and ADC chips. Experiments for the use of other microcontrollers such as PIC using development boards.
