Study Guide

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

Will be announced at the beginning of the course.

Teaching methods

Hands-on lab exercises

Exam schedules

No exam.

Since there is no exam, there is no possibility to retry the course if the number of completed laboratory exercises is below the acceptance criteria.

Completion alternatives

In case the student has suitable equipment at home, it is possible to complete the laboratory exercises partially.

If the student has an existing hobby-project, the contents of the course will be matched to the hobby-project and it is possible to complete some or all of the lab exercise. This must be agreed with teacher beforehand and there must be a clear evidence of the work, like git repository + a working demo.

Content scheduling

This course is a laboratory course, where presence is mandatory. In case the student has suitable equipment at home, it is possible to complete the laboratory exercises partially.

There are 10 lab sessions in total, 4 hours each.
