Hi,

I would examine Coursera or EdX courses. Arduino courses are available on Coursea, and EdX has a very good course on embedded electronics provided by Texas University.

Many courses use commercially and easily available platforms/development kits that are quite cheap.

This will get you started from a basic level.

Regards,

Richard.

Hi there -- I may be biased, but personally I think the Arduino is a great way to start learning about microcontrollers. If you have the money, you can buy an Arduino starter kit containing an Arduino Uno, a bunch of components, and a book of experiments. If you are short of Money, I'd look at an Arduino Nano (you can pick them up for ~$5) and then just look for experiments on the Web.

Did you see the column I just posted here on EEWeb?

Using Arduino and Rotary Telephone Dial to Control ‘Stuff’
https://www.eeweb.com/blog/max_maxfield/using...no-and-rotary-telephone-dial-to-control-stuff

In a couple of days I'll be doing a follow-up where I actually connect this telephone dial to an Arduino -- so keep on checking EEWeb for stuff like this.

Just one more -- if you really want to understand how microcontrollers perform their magic, you might want to look at my book "How Computers Do Math" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0471732788

Elektor Magazine (https://www.elektor.com/) have a wealth of Arduino boards and add-ons, also some very good books on the subject, especially one called "Mastering Microcontrollers - helped by Arduino". Just visit the page above and put "Arduino" into the search box to see what they have.
