By the end of this course, you will be able to
By the end of this course, you will be able to differentiate between microprocessors and microcontrollers. You will also be able to make a good Digital Input/Output driver.
Not only that but also you will be able to make a good timer driver, as well as integrate different drivers to build larger applications.
In addition to the aforementioned, you will also be able to use different timer modes in different applications, and be able to build basic and intermediate applications.
