Learning Outcomes
To understand the design of Input-Output (I/O) hardware and microprocessor interfacing.
To introduce to different I/O techniques: polling, interrupts, DMA and to apply the proper I/O interfacing mode.
To gain experience with the AVR peripherals such as timers and serial communication protocols.
To demonstrate interfacing to switches, LEDs, ADCs, DACs, motors and transducers.
This course contributes primarily to adapt and integrate the students' knowledge of engineering topics (signal processing, measurement techniques, process control methods) to provide design experience on microcontroller based embedded systems.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
