Microcontrollers & Interfaces

Catalog description

An introduction to microcontroller programming and interfacing. Topics include: architecture of microcontrollers, mechanics of mapping voltages to logic signals, building a proper device abstraction layer, writing quality code, compliance with MISRA-C and other standards, GPIO, interrupts, timers, I2C, SPI, RS232, controller motors and servos, analog to digital conversion, displays, speakers, microphones, acting as a USB device, and designing complete embedded systems involving microcontrollers. Students should have a basic understanding of circuits, voltage, current, resistors, and capacitors.
