About Micro-controller Laboratory

The Micro-controller Laboratory focuses on study of instruction and logic knowledge with theory study amongst the students. The laboratory experiments are equipped to cater to curriculum needs of diploma, graduate and post graduate programs along with adequate course. Instruction and logic via different assembly language instructions are taught. The laboratory hosts variety of state-of-the-art micro-controller kits to enhance the practical knowledge of the students.

By employing micro-controller solutions, students can lower capital cost of the system, and system maintenance costs. This improves time to market and the quality of products. The devices present in the laboratory offer a wide range of micro-controller capabilities at a significantly lower cost than that of dedicated devices. As integrated circuit technology advances, and off-the-shelf components become cheaper and more powerful, so do the boards that use them. Depending on the particular application, the hardware available include digital input and output, counters, timers, interrupts, capabilities. During the study students become familiar to hardware and software of micro-controller.

Objectives and Strength of Laboratory

The objectives of the lab are:

  1. To write and debug assembly language programs having applications in engineering with the help of 8051 instruction set using 8051 Microcontroller Trainer kit.
  2. To highlight the architecture attributes for an 8051 microcontroller and to provide the students with a basic understanding regarding on-chip peripherals, such as digital I/O ports, Interrupts, Timers, etc.
  3. To enable the students to write Assembly language programs on 8051 Microcontroller Trainer kit and interface a microcontroller system to devices such as motors and sensors, to complete the programming and testing of a microcontroller based embedded system.
