Objective

After completing the course the student is able to:

use C/C++ programming language with microcontrollers
understand basic I/O of a microcontroller
interface common sensors and motors to microcontrollers

Content

C/C++ programming language
architecture of a microcontroller
basic I/O constructions
maximum voltages and currents of a microcontroller
serial communication of a microcontroller.

Materials

The material created by the teacher is in the Itslearning workspace. In addition, the arduino and the components used have online material for studying with links to the Itslearning workspace.

Teaching methods

Teacher-led classroom activities, task based/innovativeness, teamwork

Exam schedules

No exams

Pedagogic approaches and sustainable development

During the course, students study electronics and micro-controller programming that can be connected to embedded electronics engineering skills. In the course source material in English is used, which gives students the ability to understand the literature of the International Engineer. Exercises are done as teamwork. In the course digital learning materials and an electronic learning environment is used.

Student workload

Partification in classroom activities: at most 60 h. Self study, circuit design, microcontroller programming and reporting: 72 h.
