Embedded systems are a very important part of the electronics industry these days. As the name suggests, it is a system where software is embedded into a particular hardware-based application to perform a particular task. The software is usually embedded into a microprocessor or controller to control the application as needed. Implementing projects on embedded systems can be a great way to start and learn more about this domain. The source codes for such projects are usually written in C or C++ depending on the type of hardware in which the code is embedded. Writing these codes can be a bit tricky if you aren’t very comfortable with it.

Having given a rough introduction about an embedded system, one might like to know what exactly is an embedded system?
An embedded system is a computer system with a combination of a computer processor, computer memory, input/output peripheral devices that perform the task assigned. These systems are generally found in large mechanical and electrical projects. These systems control physical operations in a large structure and hence has a very large application in the field of electrical run devices.
Almost 98% of all microprocessors manufactured are used in embedded systems. So now do you understand how important it is for you to know about embedded systems.

Although there are a lot of languages that can be used for embedded systems, C programming language is most widely used in embedded systems. C++ and JAVA are other languages that find good use.
C, as we know is one of the oldest and most powerful languages to ever emerge and hence it is an easy choice when it comes to programming in embedded systems. Here are a few reasons why C is chosen over other languages:
Although, apart from C, there are many other programming languages that can be used in different stages. Some of those include:
C++, JAVA, RUST, PYTHON, ADA, VERILOG, B#, LUA, VHDL, Embedded C++, etc.
Also, here are a few skills required for you to understand embedded systems better:
Well then, having learned all the programming languages and developing your skills, is everything worth it? This might very well be a common question.
Chillax my friend! Fret not, because your hard work has paid off!
As the number of intelligent devices increase, the scope for this field gradually increases. It has fantastic career prospects due to its large-scale functionality. Some of the fields of applications are:
Companies like SAMSUNG, SONY, TCS, WIPRO, L&T, INTEL, ROBERT BOSCH are top embedded based companies in India.

The best way to learn something is by doing it and so building a project based on embedded systems domain could be the right way to link up your theoretical knowledge with the practical concepts. For that, you need good kits for your project to run smoothly.
So, here are some of the kits used for building embedded systems projects:
Embedded systems deploy the integration of software on a motherboard with hardware in an embedded environment to perform a particular task. The three main steps involved in the working of any embedded system are:

So here we come, to the final step, and the most exciting one.
Once you are done with learning different kinds of programming languages and acquiring different sets of skills, it all comes down to the part of the application, wherein you need to apply and build practically without which all the above is useless.
So, to do a project, be it as a 4th year’s final year project or a child prodigy in the field of science, you will need a solid platform to start off with.
One such platform is online, wherein you can sign up for any online course on building projects in a few top trusted websites.
Skyfi Labs is one such excellent platform wherein you can learn a lot of courses and explore the technological world.
Following are the embedded system projects that will help and guide to develop an embedded project:
1. Voice Controlled Robot
Another robot project is based on Voice commands controlling the model. You'll also learn how to build an android app that recognizes your voice and can be used using Bluetooth connectivity.
2. Automated Street Lighting
This embedded system project will help you build a model that will switch on / off lights whenever necessary, an efficient way to conserve energy. As soon as the light of the sun becomes dimmer the lights will be on and when the sun is out in the morning it will be off.
