Low Power Programming 101 – Microchip Try

Learn how to design energy efficient systems by exploring different operating modes, design approaches, CIPs, and clock selection. By using the Microchip Try platform, you can upload your code to a remote microcontroller and test your code through the control panel and livestream.

The course objective is to create an application that reads the analog input from an analog ambient light sensor and uses the reading to toggle the LED when the ambient light level reaches a certain threshold. The objective is to achieve this while keeping the power consumption as low as possible. That is, when it’s dark: turn the LED on, and when it’s bright: turn the LED off. You can remotely program a AVR128DB48 from the convenience of your desk without the need for electronic components or tools.

The assignment consists of six tasks to guide you in building the application. The step-by-step learning exercises will ensure that you can learn by doing.
