I have used microcontrollers to build my corne keyboard, I followed the build guide for the hardware part and compiled/flashed the code successfully. It was a pre-baked product and it certainly help me to gain confidence in electronics. I am curious on learning more about embedded systems and this is the start.

The hardware side consists of:

  1. Microcontroller (Microprocessor+Memory)
  2. Input/output peripheral devices

I take as subject of study the Atmel Mega 2560 (chip in the Arduino Mega).
