A microcontroller is a small computer (SoC) on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of Ferroelectric RAM, NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications consisting of various discrete chips..
Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems.

Ben shows you the basics of a PIC32 microcontroller and how to use it in your projects. Ben also explains what makes PIC32's different from other AVR's that have been featured on The Ben Heck Show previously. Have you worked with a PIC32 or other microcontroller before? Let us know down below in the comments.

PASSWORD BASED DOOR LOCK SYSTEM PROJECT OUTPUT VIDEO - http://www.electronicshub.org/password-based-door-lock-system-using-8051-microcontroller/ This system demonstrates a password based door lock system wherein once the correct code or password is entered, the door is opened and the concerned person is allowed access to the secured area. Again if another person arrives it will ask to enter the password. If the password is wrong then door would remain closed, denying the access to the person. It is a simple embedded system with input from the keyboard and the output being actuated accordingly.
Official Page with More Information: http://newbiehack.com/MCUTestandCircuit.aspx This is the fifth in a video series aimed to give a tutorial on the popular Atmel AVR Atmega32 microcontroller. In this video I test the programmer to determine the proper installation of the drivers, avrdude and WinAVR. The first circuit is also explained and built. -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- Please watch: "ARM Microcontroller Tutorial - GPIO Push Button Input - Software Debouncing Part 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlRM2UfrX4A -~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
