The 8051 microcontroller is a small computer based on architecture with support for embedded applications. This is the biggest difference between a microcontroller and microprocessor. A microprocessor is used in personal computers while a microcontroller is used for embedded systems especially in robotics.
8051 Microcontroller
Since 8051 is the most common microcontroller designed especially for robots, I decide to write an article with resources for beginners and advanced users. In this article, I include resources for programming, simulation, compile, programmer kits and especially tutorials to learn how the 8051 microcontroller is programmed or simulated.
