VENEIDO, INOVASI PERANGKAT PEMBELAJARAN SISTEM DAN PEMROGRAMAN MIKROKONTROLER BERBENTUK MAINAN ELEKTRONIK GENGGAM 8-BIT

Abstract

Digital technology and microprocessor has been developing quickly. The digital devices work rely with microprocessor and microcontroller as its data processing center. Therefore, it is important to has knowledge in microprcessor and microcontroller technology. In the reality, it found that students have low enthusiasm in hardware programming especially microcontroller. Based on the interview results, it indicated that the subject of microcontroller programme was difficult by the majority of student of Polytechnic LP3I Medan. The low motivation to learn, de-motivation learning method, as well as inadequate availability of equipment become the reason of student perceptions. The objective of this research was to design and create Veneido, as a electronic handheld games with microcontroller Atmega8 based. The handheld games was design by using Dick and Carey method (analyzing-design-develop-implement-evaluate). The Veneido was designed with integrating the hardware and software. This design can be used to creat a basic programme and modification programme. In addition, a programme such as Bouncing ball can be used as a learning programme model for algorithm. Veneido and Eido were expected to develop the interest and talent of students.
