Course Description
8051 Microcontroller – Embedded Systems with C
If you want to build a strong foundation in embedded systems and understand how microcontrollers truly work at a low level, this course is designed for you.
The 8051 microcontroller remains one of the most influential architectures in embedded systems education and industry. Learning 8051 at a register level gives you the confidence to understand any microcontroller by reading its datasheet and writing code from scratch.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Write Embedded C programs for 8051
Configure internal registers confidently
Interface common peripherals
Understand timers, interrupts and serial communication
Build practical embedded applications
This course focuses on core embedded fundamentals rather than simplified abstraction layers. You will learn how to control the microcontroller directly through registers, which builds deep understanding and long-term confidence.
What You Will Learn
8051 architecture and internal structure
Memory organization
Register-level programming
GPIO interfacing
Timers and counters
Interrupt handling
Serial communication
LCD interfacing
Relay and switch control
ADC and temperature sensor interfacing
Stepper motor and DC motor control
PC interfacing concepts
Hands-On Learning
This is a practical, code-driven course. You will write and test programs for each concept using simulation tools. Even if you do not own hardware, you can complete every exercise.
Brief introduction to Embedded C is included so beginners can follow along.
What Makes This Course Different
Strong focus on register-level programming
Simulation-based exercises for every module
Practical embedded problem-solving approach
Designed to build real embedded systems confidence
Who This Course Is For
Engineering students studying microcontrollers
Beginners entering embedded systems

Nothing to complaint about. Some topics can be discussed more deeply such as why do we need micro controllers but maybe you have covered in next video. overall its good and not too less not too much. Thank you

First I would like to say thank to all the team members and the full course is good understandable and point to point explanation.
By John Bilston on 4/5/2021
Projects are interesting and the reasons for the programming methods used in the examples very clear. I think the tutor is an excellent communicator who knows his subject
By Vignesh Muthuraman on 8/27/2020
yes, of course the course is very much related to my interest. I just completed only 2 videos like the introduction and the basic needs. i hope the future videos will satisfy my needs and queries.....!
By Abdelrahman Abadi on 7/15/2020
Course was good enough to understand and its easy to , but on theory parts the lectures must be watched over and over again to fully understand. But Mr. Amit explanation is good and easy as well best instructor thanks goes to him
By Wiliam J Donegan on 7/4/2020
This was a course that put out a lot of information in a short amount of time. All lessons are very useable in the real world. Good job.
By Punith Kumar C T on 6/20/2020
Excellent concepts and teaching also great. I learnt lot of things from exercises. We can try running a code without a hardware using simulation. I recommend this course who are willing to learn embedded concepts. I hope lecturer will include interrupt concepts as an extension.
By Coroi Alexandru-Mihai on 4/7/2020
This my first course taken on Udemy, I am a beginner in this field, and I find this course very good for a beginner, it explains the basic things very well.
By Anuj Sharma on 4/6/2020
Great Instructor. Easy to follow and well explained. Part 2 should be there where more codes with interfacing to LCD and keyboard can be taught. Stepper motor using available stepper motor IC.
