A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals, designed to control a specific function within an embedded system. Engineers and hobbyists use microcontrollers (like the Arduino or ESP32) to build devices ranging from household appliances to industrial automation and IoT products. They are fundamental to embedded systems engineering and electronics prototyping.
