Description
A programming course with hands on experience for those interested in entering the exciting field of Embedded Systems Programming. You will learn about microcontroller architecture and how to program them using Microchip Assembly. The format is 50% lecture followed by 50% coding. We'll learn about the following:
interrupts
Variables
datasheets
schematics
PWM
ADC
Timers
Memory
Binary and Hexadecimal
Boolean logic
ALU
GPIOs
LEDs
Switches
Potentiometers
Clocks
Assembly language Instructions
Simulation
Debugging
Microcontroller Architecture
And much more. This course is intended for those with little or no experience with coding or hardware knowledge. Whether you are a DIY type, student, inventor or professional looking to learn a new skill, this course is for you.
Who Should Attend!
- Someone with little or no prior knowledge or experience with micro controllers or programming
- Those who have a desire to seek employment in the embedded systems field
- Current students who seek a more practical and hands on experience
- Potential inventors who are interested in product creation
- Robotics students or those who are interested in robotics
- My students want to get started in a new career. They may be currently in a class but feel they need a little more help to get them along. They may have heard about Embedded Systems from a friend or family member but don't know exactly how to get started.
