I am writing a project on Micro controller based programmable electric cooker and I am not conversant with the programming of the micro controller using the C51 Development Tools to suit what I wanted in my project. I truly needed an assistance on how to develop a program for my project from fundamental. I am using AT89C52 micro controller for the project. I will really appreciate your candid assistant
An electric cooker isn't the worlds most complex program - on and off and a timer and a watchdog.
Did you have a lousy teacher? Or wasn't the classes meant to learn you the required background knowledge for you to be able to do this project on your own?
... it is my impression that some "institutes of learning" do not teach, they just collect ypur money and tell you to get your project from somewhere so they can state "Joe Blow delivered his final project and got an A".

Why are you "doing" (sic) a Microcontroller programming project when you know nothing about microcontroller programming?!
Do you know any programming Languages? What are you starting wirh?
Is this Hobby, Commercial , or a school project?
I know programming in Basic language and i wanted a guide on how to program the micro controller. This is a school project. I will appreciate your assistance.
So, again, why are you "doing" (sic) a Microcontroller programming project when you know nothing about microcontroller programming?!
It takes courage in venturing into something new. I want to learn and to know the procedures so that I can apply same in my project. It has been a project that I wanted to carry out. If you can be of a help please do so and I will appreciate it.
Indeed.
But it also takes commitment to doing some hard work - including research & learning the new skills required.
There are a great many books, websites, and training providers available - did you spend sny time researching these?
Here's some books for starters: http://www.keil.com/books/
Here's some resources for learning 'C' programming: blog.antronics.co.uk/.../
However, for a school project, you really need to make sure that you are concentrating on the specific goals & requirements of the assignment...
I am not conversant with the programming of the micro controller using the C51 Development Tools to suit what I wanted in my project. This is a school project. I will appreciate your assistance. 'assisting' beyond bug fixing hints with a school project constitutes cheating, so NO! if your 'school' (note the quotes) wants you to program and have not taught you how, ask for your money back.
I truly needed an assistance on how to develop a program for my project from fundamental to assist you "from fundamental" would be the equivalent of one college semester, hardly the scope for a forum
Install the Compiler. There is sample code in the compiler. and more here: http://www.keil.com/download/list/c51.htm Take a peak and the code.
Get the Data sheet for you chip and study it.
You will need to find a C reference Book also.
Feel free to ask specific questions. Post your commented, well formatted code.
