Microcontroller programming 1100-PMK-OG

The course places its emphasis to control devices with computers. It will incorporate the state-of-the-art microcontrollers' cores of AVR and ARM families. We will gear to the integration of hardware modules to construct embedded systems, and the programming models and characteristics of various input/output interfaces. High-level C/C++ languages will be chosen to meet computation, resource, and software development requirements.

Program:
1. Microcontroller applications' area. Architecture of microcontrollers. Eagle - application for designing electronic circuits.
2. Microcontroller programming in C/C++ high level languages. Programming environments in Linux and MS Windows systems. Configuration of microcontroller. Program uploading. Types of programmers. Using input/output binary ports.
3. Standard library. Object oriented programming in microcontroller applications. How to write effective programs.
4. Generation of delays, signals of given frequency and pulse modulation. Use of internal counters to signal generation.
5. Interrupt system. How to write interrupt handlers. Interrupt triggering with external signals and with internal circuits. Interrupts hierarchy. Interrupts enabling and disabling.
6. Communication with user. Multiplexed LED display, text and graphics LCD displays. Decoding matrix keyboard, single and multiplied key presses, short and long ones without and with interrupt system.
7. Serial interfaces: RS232, I2C, SPI, 1-wire.
8. Frequency measurement. Counting of impulses and widths with use of internal counters and voltage comparator. Programming A/D converter.
9. Common additional microcontroller circuits. Watchdog. Non volatile EEPROM and FLASH memories.
10. USB programming.

Prerequisites: programming with C/C++ languages, basics of electronics.
