So it is the best time for the engineering students and professionals to learn how to use micro-controllers and how to program them. Micro-controller learning kits can be used for educational purpose. But they are expensive and sometimes it becomes difficult for schools or universities to manage them. In this study we will introduce a low cost 8051 architecture based micro-controller kit. It can be programmed using personal computer (PC) with the help of our machine code downloading software. Using this kit, we can glow LED’s and 7-segment display, play sound, drive relay, generate square pulses of different frequencies according to the downloader program. To interact with human there is a keyboard. Besides, external analog signals can be inserted into the kit through an analog to digital interface. ER -
