What’s a Microcontroller? Student Guide Version 2.2 was written by Andy Lindsay after
collecting observations and educator feedback while traveling the nation teaching
Parallax Educators Courses. Andy studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at
California State University, Sacramento, and this is his third Stamps in Class Student
Guide. He is also a contributing author of several papers that address the topic of
microcontrollers in pre-engineering curricula.
When he’s not writing educational
material, Andy does product engineering for Parallax.
