No prior embedded experience is required. The workshop starts from absolute fundamentals — what a microcontroller is, how GPIO works, what an ADC does. You will write C code during the workshop, but we teach the essential syntax as you go. If you understand basic electricity (voltage, current, resistance) and can follow logical instructions, you're ready. Engineering students from 2nd year onwards, fresh graduates, and even mechanical engineers transitioning to electronics have successfully completed this workshop.

The BMS Specialist Training is a 3-month deep engineering-grade program focused exclusively on BMS — SoC/SoH algorithms (EKF, UKF, ML-based), BMS firmware design, cell balancing strategies, protection circuits, CAN communication, AI/ML estimation, cloud BMS, and testing/validation. It's for engineers who want to design and develop BMS systems. This Embedded Systems Hardware Workshop is a 6-day foundational program that builds the hardware and protocol skills that underpin all EV controllers — not just BMS. It covers microcontrollers, ADC, PWM, sensor interfacing, CAN bus, motor control, and BMS hardware basics. Think of it as the prerequisite foundation — many graduates follow this workshop with the BMS Specialist or Embedded Systems Nanodegree for deeper specialisation.

All lab equipment and components are provided at the training centre for the 6 days. An optional DIY Kit is available at ₹10,000 at the time of enrolment — it includes an STM32 board, Arduino, sensor kit, CAN transceiver module, and motor driver, allowing you to continue practising and building projects at home after the workshop.

Entirely practical. On Day 4, you will physically build a multi-node CAN bus network using MCP2515 CAN controllers and TJA1050 transceivers. You'll wire the bus, add 120Ω termination resistors, write firmware to transmit and receive CAN messages, simulate BMS-to-VCU communication, and debug message IDs and data fields. By the end of Day 4, you'll have a working 3-node CAN system on your bench — the same protocol used in every car and EV on the planet.

Yes — EV OEM interviews for embedded and electronics roles typically test: microcontroller architecture, GPIO/ADC/PWM concepts, communication protocols (CAN is almost always asked), sensor interfacing, basic motor control, and BMS hardware understanding. This workshop covers all of these with hands-on practice, not just theory. You'll be able to answer questions like "explain how CAN bus works" or "how does a BMS monitor cell voltages" from direct experience of building these systems — which is far more credible in interviews than textbook knowledge.

This workshop is designed as a foundational stepping stone into deeper DIYguru certifications. Recommended paths: Embedded Workshop → Embedded Systems Nanodegree (for full firmware development depth with RTOS, AUTOSAR, advanced protocols). Embedded Workshop → BMS Specialist (for deep BMS engineering with SoC/SoH algorithms). Embedded Workshop → CEVT (for EV service technician career with hardware awareness). Each program is self-contained, but graduates who start with this workshop consistently report that the hands-on hardware foundation makes all subsequent programs significantly easier to absorb.

STM32 (Arm Cortex-M) is the most widely used MCU family in automotive and EV embedded systems globally. Companies like Ola Electric, Ather Energy, Grinntech, ION Energy, and hundreds of BMS and motor controller firms use STM32 or similar Arm Cortex-M based MCUs (NXP S32K, TI TMS320, Infineon AURIX). Learning STM32 in this workshop gives you directly transferable skills — the register-level concepts (GPIO, ADC, timers, SPI, CAN) are identical across all Arm Cortex-M platforms. This is industry training, not academic theory.

All tools and equipment are provided: STM32 Nucleo & Blue Pill boards, Arduino Uno/Mega, ESP32, MCP2515 CAN modules, TJA1050 transceivers, ACS712 current sensors, INA219 modules, NTC thermistors, voltage divider kits, L298N and BTS7960 motor drivers, DC motors, small BLDC motors, OLED displays, push buttons, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, breadboards, jumper wires, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analysers, soldering stations, laptops with Arduino IDE and STM32CubeIDE pre-installed. You only need to bring yourself.
