Abstract
This study aimed to determine the student’s response and the application effectiveness of ATMega 2560-based microcontroller trainers in supporting the agricultural robotics learning in the Faculty of Engineering, State University of Makassar. This study was a research and development study using ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) approach. The student’s response to the application of ATMega 2560-based microcontroller trainers was collected using questionnaires. The samples size of students in this study were 30 students from the Faculty of Engineering, Makassar State University. Information on the application effectiveness of ATMega 2560-based microcontroller trainers was collected from the observations results of learning outcomes, which were conducted through pre-test and post-test. The analysis results on the student’s response showed an average result of 3.65, which means that they were in a good category. The average results of the pre-test and post-test obtained for the analysis of effectiveness were 60.55 and 83.50, respectively. This showed an increase in student learning outcomes which were above the minimum standard and were in a good category. The application of ATMega 2560-based microcontroller trainers received a good response from students and was effective in supporting the agricultural robotics learning in Faculty of Engineering, State University of Makassar.

Summary
One of the goals of education is to produce students who have skills and mastery of technology in accordance with the needs of the labor market and the world of industry, especially in the field of robotics related to the mastery of microcontrollers. The process of mastering the microcontroller is inseparable from the process of providing theory and practice on an ongoing basis. Continuous practice can be done by providing a trainer that can become a learning media. Learning media is a teaching aid that is used to channel messages or information from the sender to the recipient of the message. Media can be interpreted as something that can bring information and knowledge in interactions that take place between educators and students [3,4]
