Learn beyond the basics of electronics and hardware design for your embedded hardware or IoT projects.

Ratings 4.53 / 5.00
Beyond Arduino: Electronics for Developers & Makers - (GPIO)

What You Will Learn!

  • Design the hardware around your IoT applications
  • Design add-on circuitry for popular development boards such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
  • Understand how a microcontroller interacts with its supporting hardware

Description

In this course you will learn that there's more to life than the Arduino Uno and that there's probably a better way to do what you've been doing with microcontrollers. Yes, Arduino is an excellent platform to get you started, but you will learn that Arduino is not part of the day to day electronics you use like your TV, microwave oven or car dashboard. 

Do you know how the supporting hardware in a microcontroller work? Well, you will learn that here. Also as a bonus you will learn how the functions in dumbed-down libraries work. 

This is not exactly a hands-on course, not if you don't want it to be. There are no promises on the projects you’ll make because I won’t force you to build something you didn’t choose to. However, I strongly recommend that you code along. Several microcontroller development platforms are showcased, but you should follow the examples with your own microcontroller.

You should know that most lectures have the following elements:

-Recommended Material

-“Recall” Slide

-Actual lecture content

-Live Demo

- and Quizzes

Who Should Attend!

  • Makers who have some experience with hardware and would like to learn how these circuits work with as few equations as possible.
  • Coders who were introduced to hardware through some development board popular in the Maker movement, such as the Raspberry Pi or Arduino (e.g. blinking an LED, reading push button input)
  • Beginners who would rather skip the boring theory and math, and dive into fun hands- on applications that move, light up and make sounds instead.
  • This course is not for advanced hardware designers or electrical engineers.
  • This is not an introductory Microcontroller course. You will not learn to use an Arduino board by taking this course.
  • This is not a theoretical electronics course. Some of the basics are covered but we won't study differential equations, transforms, or transfer functions.
  • This is not a programming introductory course. You won't learn C, python or Java by taking this course.
