what microcontroller similar to AT89c51?

[Azizul Hakimi]

Gentlemen,

In the project Liquid-level-alarm-AT89C51-circuit submitted by Himanshu Choudhary, i would like to ask some questions,

1) Can i change the microcontroller used in that circuit? And what suitable microcontroller can i use as replacement? 

2) If i use ATMEGA-32 or ATMEGA-328P or ATMEGA-16 to replace AT89C51, Did i have to change the codes and the pins? 

3) What software can i use to program the ATMEGA microcontroller?

p/s;

I'm stupid, but i want to learn something new.

Hi Azizul

Good to hear that you want to learn

I would like to answer to your questions number-wise:

1) Yes you can replace it with any microcontroller capable of handling input-output operations. You should go for AVRs or PICs. Arduino would be a great platform too.

2) Yes you will need to change the pins according to the pinout of the microcontroller you are using. Although there will be some changes in the code as well but the broader aspect of algorithms and steps involved will remain almost same.

3) For AtMegas you can try out AVR studio.

Hope this helps

Good luck and keep learning
