Most Popular Processors

Best Microcontroller for BeginnersArduino Uno R3 The Arduino Uno R3 is the standard Arduino found in most starter kits and is the easiest to use. If budget is an issue, note that Arduino is open-source hardware.

Teensy 4.0

Most agree that the Arduino is a great starting point for beginners, and the Atmel controller is typical and representative of micros today. Clearly in second place were the PIC devices from Microchip. They are cheap, simple, and have lots of software and hardware support. Different models were recommended.

Before you start learning about microcontrollers, you must gain some basic understanding of Electronics, otherwise, it will be difficult to understand all the concepts and do the programming effectively. Some of the best-embedded design engineers are also good hardware engineers.

The reason microcontrollers are used is because they simplify circuits and allow for extreme adaptability in circuits through software, which is much easier to change than hardware. Microcontrollers can allow for changes in circuit behavior through modifying a single line of code.

6 Best Microcontrollers: Hardware for Embedded Computing

• Arduino.
• Beagleboard.
• Raspberry Pi.
• Toradex i.MX.
• Nvidia Jetson.
• Intel Nuc.

Some examples of embedded systems are MP3 players, mobile phones, video game consoles, digital cameras, DVD players, and GPS. Household appliances, such as microwave ovens, washing machines and dishwashers, include embedded systems to provide flexibility and efficiency.
