This project is a microcontroller training platform developed to support practical teaching and experimentation with embedded systems.

Scope

The work covered the complete hardware-development path:

  • system requirements and peripheral selection;
  • schematic capture and PCB design in Altium Designer;
  • board fabrication and component assembly;
  • embedded-C firmware and peripheral bring-up;
  • debugging and validation of the assembled platform.

The kit is built around the ATmega2560 and was conceived as a hands-on platform for microprocessor and embedded-systems laboratories.
