ELET 3144 - Embedded Controller Applications

This course is the second sequence in the study of embedded controllers. The total capability of the microcontroller will be developed. Topics will include: serial and engineering evaluation board to the embedded controller. Parallel communications using devices like: liquid crystal displays, printers and IR (infra red) remote controls - data acquisition using the built in analog to digital converter - motor control using stepper motors. Stepper motors are widely used in devices like printers, robotics and laboratory test equipment. Projects will be programmed using "C++" as well as assembly language. The course will conclude with a project using an embedded controller module. A typical project is a Mobile Autonomous Robotic System (MARS).
