So in order perform all these options we need to program the MICRO CONTROLLER or MICROPROCESSORS to perform respective jobs. We program these processors in such a way that it has to recognize which job to be perform when user approach any of the above said options.
Microprocessors are used to control consumer electronic devices, such as the programmable microwave oven and DVD player; to regulate gasoline consumption and antilock brakes in automobiles; to monitor alarm systems; and to operate automatic tracking and targeting systems in aircraft, tanks, and missiles and to control radar arrays that track and identify aircraft, among other defense applications.
