Learning Outcomes
After the course, the student is able to program microcontrollers with the C programming language, as well as adjust measuring probes and other peripheral devices to microcontrollers.
Student's Workload
108 h, out of which 40 h of contact studies.
The assessment of student’s own learning 1 h is included in contact lessons.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Basics of Computer Technology.
Contents
C programming of microcontrollers. The students make programs, which regulate digital I/O devices, timing circuits, serial ports, LCD monitors and AD converters using interrupting and polling methods. In additions, the student becomes familiar with measuring probes and devices, as well as the principles of adjustment.
Recommended or Required Reading and Other Learning Resources/Tools
AVR Studio and Winavr C-kääntäjä, Pentti Vahtera: C-ohjelmointi (pdf), Jari Koskinen: Mikrotietokonetekniikka, Internet material and the material delivered by the teacher in Moodle.
