Embedded Microcontroller Systems

Catalog description

Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, remote controls, office machines, peripherals for computer systems, appliances, power tools, and toys. By reducing size, cost, and power consumption, microcontrollers make it economical to electronically control many more processes. In the laboratory setting, students will learn how to interface with embedded systems, which typically have no keyboard, screen, disks, printers, or other recognizable computer I/O devices, and may lack human interaction devices of any kind.
