Learn how to select the best microcontroller for your embedded projects—based on specs, cost, and performance needs.
Choosing the wrong microcontroller can cost you time, money, and project success. This course teaches you how to confidently evaluate and select the right microcontroller for any embedded system or product—whether you're working on a prototype, IoT device, automation controller, or commercial product.
You’ll explore selection criteria like memory, speed, power consumption, peripherals, pin count, communication protocols, and toolchain support. By the end, you’ll have a reliable, repeatable process for microcontroller evaluation that saves you from trial-and-error mistakes and leads to smarter, more scalable designs.
