01 / The game
Learn by fixing.
EmbeddedPlayX turns embedded-systems concepts into interactive missions. Explore the hardware, configure registers, execute your logic, and bring the system back online.
- 01
Explore
Walk through the microcontroller's rooms.
- 02
Configure
Set register bits with lever switches.
- 03
Program
Compile your setup into ROM.
- 04
Execute
Watch the CPU run your code.
- 05
Repair
Bring the system back online.
02 / Missions
Seven systems. One mission.
From your first pin to a shared bus, every mission repairs one system inside the microcontroller.
01GPIODark Light
Restore power to a dead ship by configuring the microcontroller's I/O.
02ADCData Hunter
Capture and interpret analog signals using the ADC.
03TimersClock Warrior
Configure timing hardware and restore the ship's rhythm.
04EEPROMFlashBack Fighter
Read and write persistent data inside non-volatile memory.
05UARTByte Buster
Transmit and receive data through serial communication.
06SPISlave Adventure
Explore synchronous communication between devices.
07I²CBus Battle
Navigate a shared communication bus between devices.

03 / What you learn
Understand what's inside.
Every mission is built around a real embedded-systems concept, from setting a single register bit to moving data across a bus.
Built for students, hobbyists, and anyone curious about how microcontrollers actually work.
