Udemy just requires creating an account, just use a junk email or turn the notifications off.
There are a ton of Udemy paid courses that go on discount or totally free from time to time so check regularly.

Here is a list of all free courses on Udemy.

Once you add the course there is no time limit and no hidden catches, it stays on your account. I'm not affiliated, just letting people know about it.

Thanks for the heads up!  I've been doing a Udemy course on Kicad that I bought, so far it's been good, and well worth the $15 I paid.

[ElektroQuark]

Thank you!

Most of the courses are in promotion at sometime, for $10 or $15. I have  buy a bunch of them.

There was a free course on "Microcontrollers and the C Programming Language" it uses the TI Launchpad MSP430FR6989.

For those that like links:

and

Hope links work because I signed up and ordered the board

 

[ElektroQuark]

No TI sales right now.

[Shock]

Thanks "Microcontrollers and the C Programming Language" added.

FYI

It is not easy to order from TI, they want a lot of info.  For company name I put "Self"  for company URL I put "eevblog.com".  What confused me the most was "Name"  there were several fields that I ended up put my name into.

I looked at it this way:  if I could not figure out how to order I would not figure out how to use the silly thing.  So ordering is a "pre-test".

Hey thanks for the heads up on this.  If you click "buy from distributor" on the TI link you can get the board for $18.63 from Mouser.  May be worth the extra 64 cents if TI is a PITA, I think this is the way I will go.

Since shipping can be cheaper, I think you save something like 40 cents or $1.40 ?  I guess it depends on if you like taking mental tests (via TI).  I am proud that I passed and was able to order from TI.  For me it was worth the 40 cents for the mental test.   

Summary:  Order from Mouser if you do not need the mental challenge ordering from TI.

Done "Microcontrollers and the C Programming Language".
Very basic. For those who don't have a idea of microcontroller programing.
Maybe interesting for those Arduino makers that had only use the Arduino enviroment.

I think I am about 1/2 done.  FYI this is really a PDF based course.  The videos are short introductions to the PDFs.  It works really well because the PDF downloads are presented along the way.  You do not have to search for them.  My printer is getting a work out. 

The PDFs are very detailed.  For example the one on "AND" is 18 pages.

So far the board has not been used nor have I received mine.

Was able to install CCS installed easy enough.

So far I am pleased but expect that I will have to look into other resources because I have a lot of dead brain cells.

This one is normally $200 but free for the first 500 from the looks of it. Doubt it's that great as it's just an exam but it's free.

Has that guy really gotten 18,930 students at $200 a pop? 
Or do most of them come when it's free?

Not sure but like on youtube/patreon there is money in it. If they marketed your course aggressively (they take a bigger cut) you would think they get more sign ups. It looks like they take 3% if you don't need help marketing.

[Mr. Scram]

Certification for Arduino? Can you just make these up now?

[CoalCreekPlastics]

No way he gets $200 a pop, I took it, it was crap.  If I had paid for it I would have raised hell.  Plus it's misleading as there is no Arduino "certification."

[Shock]

No complaints please it's free, take it or leave it.

I think I am about 1/2 done. ....

When I said 1/2, I meant printing out the PDFs.  I am on Lesson 21.  The printed docs are excellent.  There are not many (if any) tutorials on the MSP430.  I do not watch any videos because they were just intros to the PDFs.

I figure it takes me a month to do what a college student would do in a day.  I do it as a challenge to fight off dementia.

Because of Shock I have a couple of boards, a parts kit, a foot tall of PDFs.   I wish more members would come up with tutorials.

A big hand and a big thanks for Shock   

[Shock]

Thanks good to hear you are making use of it.
