Commercial Micro-controller SystemsCommercial Micro-controller Systems

Programming knowledge Electronics knowledge Computer architecture

knowledge Expensive development

software and equipment

Very little experience tostart hard work is done

Public domain HWD & SW Low cost hardware ~ $30 Free Software

Concentrate on learningone area at a time Lots of resources on the

web Expandability

Readily available parts
