Course Overview
This Industry Immersion program in Embedded Systems provides participants with a deep dive into Embedded Systems, focusing on microcontroller programming, hardware interfacing, and real-world applications. The program emphasizes hands-on experience, building practical projects, and developing technical skills in Embedded C programming, microcontroller peripherals, and sensor integration. By the end of the course, participants will have built several small projects and completed a final integrated system, preparing them for careers in embedded systems development.
Key Topics
This foundational topic introduces participants to the world of embedded systems, highlighting their significance in various industries. Participants will explore the differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors, learn about popular microcontroller families (such as AVR, PIC, and ARM), and become familiar with development boards like Arduino. The hands-on session allows participants to set up a development environment and execute basic operations, such as blinking LEDs and controlling push buttons, giving them their first experience in microcontroller programming.
This topic delves into Embedded C programming, a crucial skill for writing software that runs on microcontrollers. Participants will learn about data types, operators, control structures, and how to write programs specifically for embedded devices. The focus will then shift to GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output), where participants will understand how to control external hardware like LEDs and switches using microcontroller GPIO pins. Timers and delays, essential for precise control in embedded applications, will also be covered, culminating in hands-on projects such as a traffic light controller and pattern generation.
This key topic introduces serial communication protocols, including UART, SPI, and I2C, essential for communication between microcontrollers and other devices. Participants will learn how to interface both analog and digital sensors, such as temperature and PIR motion sensors, with microcontrollers. Practical exercises will guide them through the process of acquiring and processing sensor data, enabling them to build real-world projects like an environment monitoring system.
Understanding interrupts and timers is critical for designing real-time embedded systems. This topic covers the basics of interrupt handling, different types of interrupts (external, timer-based, UART), and how to implement Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs). Participants will also work with timers to create periodic tasks and event-driven applications. Hands-on projects, such as debouncing switches using interrupts and timer-based applications, will solidify their understanding of these key concepts.
The final key topic focuses on taking the knowledge gained throughout the course and applying it to a comprehensive project development process. Participants will engage in project planning, system design, and the integration of hardware and software components. They will also learn strategies for testing, debugging, and documenting their projects. The session ends with participants presenting their projects, demonstrating a complete embedded system, from concept to implementation, showcasing their newly acquired skills.
