What is a microcontroller?
Microcontrollers are the heart of many electronic projects. Programming these chips allows us to read inputs (such as sensors) and control outputs (such as motors, LEDs, displays).

Microcontrollers are small, powerful devices that can run programs that allow them to control devices and perform various operations. Some of the popular microcontrollers include:

Arduino: A simple and popular microcontroller that is suitable for beginners.
PIC: Microcontrollers made by Microchip are used in industrial projects due to their high performance.
AVR: These microcontrollers are used in Arduino boards and have many features.
