资源说明：A comprehensive project intended to teach curious people the ways of the microcontroller
## General view ##  ## What do we have here? ## **PEA** [Romanian for *Pachetul Educațional Ale*; *Ale Educational Package*, in English] is, like its name says, a **complete** and **free educational package** meant to teach anyone who desires (even high school pupils) the art of working with these marvelous feat of electrical engineering called *microcontrollers*. When I say **free** I truly mean it! You have no virutally restriction in using these materials (in parts or as a whole) for personal and non-commercial purposes. I only require that you acknowledge and maintain the informations regarding the true intellectual author of this project. Please check further down for a proper license association. It's a package since it is composed of 3 important and interdependent elements: * a board -called _pAle_- onto which the learner can practice what he has learned * a book that teaches the reader how to use the board through carefully selected, easy to follow examples * a custom application -called _psAle_- through which the user applications can be transmited to the board **PEA** was brought together, presented to you and motivated by the author's desire to prove his belief that this wonderful domain isn't as hard as it seems. This is true; either if you are a hobbyist, member of an electronics community or singing in a choir in a church. It does not matter! As long as the reader has the curiosity and is willing to make that extra step, **PEA is for you**! ## More Pics ## Here are a couple of real-world images that might help in a better understanding of what we are working on here. Take it as a sort of eye-candy, if you will. **Be advised that, because of the continuous improvements carried out, these images may not fully reflect the project's current state! Nevertheless, they are a good aproximation of it ...** ### A full PEA package ###  ### Companion CD ###  ### psAle's Code Form (needs internationalizing) ###  ### PEA's board top view ###  ### PEA's board back view ###  ### pAle running its default program ### [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp1ma8frFmw) _(please click it for a better quality, Youtube version)_ ## Building the package ## If you plan to build this package as a DIY challenge, note there are 3 elements that can be brought to life: * you can print the book (cca. 230 pages, as of this writing) for a traditional, easy-to-read, experience. Or you can choose not to and use the available free ebook, saving some trees in the process! * you can build the PCB (Eagle *sch* and *brd* files can be found in the *egl* folder). This will require some electrical engineering knowledge as well as an initial AVR programmer for configuring the board * you can either build _psAle_ or download a binary version *[coming soon]* ## I want to participate ## **Super!** and I'm honored! Please write to me at admin@tuscale.ro and we will take it from there! ## Other info ## >Main Author : **Victor ADĂSCĂLIȚEI** >License : [**Creative Commons License**] (http://creativecommons.org/) of type [BY-NC-SA] (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/en/) for the book (any language) and _psAle_, and [**OSHWA**] (http://www.oshwa.org/definition/) for the board.
