Below are some of my 'go-to' sites for information about microcontrollers and related topics.
Arduino
- History and plenty of information on Arduino
- Ground zero for all things Arduino
- Lots of helpful tutorials, kits, and components
- Ditto
- "Open hardware facilitator". Often have very good prices on microcontrollers, sensors, and other things useful for mechtronics
- "Computing Stuff tied to the Physical World"
- Fantastic guide from zero through fairly sophisticated projects
- Very detailed and extensive tutorials on Arduino and interfacing it to all sorts of things
- Great examples showing the use of Arduino for measurements, audio, and photography applications
- Tinkerish.com Wiki also Tinkerish.com Wiki Libarduino Libraries that allow developers to use the standard GNU toolchain to program Arduino hardware
Others
- Intro to Physical Computing Tom Igoe’s awesome class on mechatronics
- Has some very clearly documented examples relating to robotics and software
- Joe Pardue’s site that focuses on Atmel Butterfly and Arduino. His blog is good.
- Rob Faludi’s site for the book of the same name, which uses the Arduino. Also has a helpful blog and links to many helpful resources
