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

  • Developers transitioning from high-level programming

  • Anyone who wants strong embedded fundamentals


Who This Course Is Not For

  • Advanced embedded engineers looking for RTOS or ARM-based systems

  • Learners seeking high-level development frameworks

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

By Murali Ravula on 6/6/2021

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.

By Kristen Hill on 10/15/2019

I’ve taken this course for micro controller programming and this one was by far the most helpful and most prominent course,My programming skills improved dramatically over the time.
