Key Points

  • Understand key communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, Modbus, CAN BUS, USB, Ethernet, PCIe.
  • Learn the advantages, disadvantages, and appropriate applications for each protocol.
  • No programming knowledge required, just fun learning!

Learning Outcomes

  • Differentiate between various serial communication protocols.
  • Choose the best protocol for different applications.
  • Grasp the fundamental theory of transmitting bits to other devices.

About This Course

Learn the Fundamental Theory of Embedded Microcontroller Communication Protocols for Arduino and FPGA

(This is a Theory-Only Course - No programming)

----------------------------------------------                                       

This course teaches you the basics of microcontroller communication protocols which you can apply instantly to your Arduino or microcontroller Projects. This course is for those who want to learn about communication electronics in an easy and simple way but who also don't really want to open a text book.

At the end of this course, you will understand the advantages and disadvantages, bandwidth speed, limitations, maximum transmission length and application of each of the following protocols:

  • I2C or TWI

  • SPI

  • UART

  • Modbus RTU

  • CAN BUS

  • USB

  • Ethernet

  • PCIe

These theoretical concepts are important because you cannot use any protocol you wish for any applications. For example it is common knowledge that CAN BUS is best suited for automobile applications due to its reliability and robustness, hence using I2C or SPI would be at bad choice for this application. Another example would be for networking applications, Ethernet protocol is best suited for this as we know and USB would not be able to cope as network protocol.  To transfer massive amount of data such as images or video, you will learn why you cannot use UART but rather PCIe provides you more than enough bandwidth to transfer up to 4K video. This course covers how these protocols work and why they are so useful for their applications.

So if you are ready to get started, click on the take this course button and we'll get started with the main concepts. If for whatever reason you are not happy, you are covered by Udemy’s 30 day money back guarantee, full refund, no hassles...period!


  • Understand the fundamentals of Transmitting bits to other devices

  • Able to differentiate between the various serial protocol and decide which protocol is the best to use for a given application

So a bit about me, Ritesh Kanjee: I've graduated from University of Johannesburg as an Electronic Engineer with a Masters in Image Processing and 8 years ago I started my online school called Augmented Startups where I have over 100'000 subscribers on YouTube and over 60'000 students on Augmented AI Bootcamp/Udemy.I’ve worked with popular tools such as TensorFlow Keras, Open...

1. Worst course - you can imagine CAN protocol is covered in 6 minutes.
2. Waste of time - Instead of concentrating on content, funky presentation is used.
3. Nothing to learn - The outcome of this course is nothing, after completing the course you cannot even claim that you learn 1% about any of the protocols.

Don't waste your time and money, look somewhere else.

Well done Ritesh...very short but very informative, however presentation slides; mainly font type selection distracts please make like professional. also voice (vocal accents ) is not clear disturbing concentration.
aprt from this everything is good..this feedback for all lectures.

Seemed like a lot of the content was straight from Wikipedia, including not elaborating on some important details. Not very helpful to show a static image while talking in the background and the font was distracting and hard to read.

I expected more on the programming part. The course was all about basics.

I think It would be better if he describes the code line by line

Good overview of protocols. Recommend a summary comparison including each protocol with common applications, bandwidth, max number of devices, etc. Would also help to understand some details, egs: why are devices number limited, why termination resistors are used (if this detail is included).

The course provides a good information about different communications. However, I believe it is missing the important information about hardware requirements and how to establish those connections to set up a certain type of communication.
