This practical resource introduces students to programming microcontrollers through a range of activities based around a simulation of a washing machine.

Practical tasks include the following:

• Investigating sensors and actuators
• Controlling I/O port lines
• Performing arithmetic and logical operations
• Investigating branches and jumps
• Using subroutines
• Controlling motor direction and speed
• Motor speed control with feedback
• Full washing machine sequence
