Examples are using ether ATmega128, ATmega 2561 or ATxmega128A1U controller as Robotic HomeLab kit three generations are using these different controllers. AVR is one of the most widely used microcontrollers, besides Microchip PIC, amongst the hobby robotic community and is very suitable for educational purposes.

 **1.** section gives a fast introduction to the most simple electronics fundamentals and calculations. These formulas are very useful for several practical exercises. Also the C-language is briefly covered and some simple examples are given. **1.** section gives a fast introduction to the most simple electronics fundamentals and calculations.

 **3.** section introduces the hardware and software platform which is developed for educational use and is the basis for the next chapter examples. A special software library has been developed for the most common functions. The user can concentrate on the program logic instead of working indepth with the registers. Both Windows and Linux operating systems are supported. **3.** section introduces the hardware and software platform which is developed for educational use and is the basis for the next chapter examples.
