EETA 2056 - Microcontrollers


Credits: 4

A study of the fundamentals of a modern microcontroller such as one of Microchip Corporation’s many PICsTM.  Microcontroller architecture is examined.  Programming of the controller is accomplished using a high-level programming language such as Micro Engineering Lab’s PICTM Basic Pro.  Students will learn how to write programs, run software simulations, and use a compiler.  The lab exercises will require the student to program actual microcontrollers, test for proper operation, and debug programs as needed. Programming topics covered include looping, decisions, time delays, interrupts, and LCD display. Interfacing with various hardware elements is explored.

Prerequisite: EETA 2052  and MATH 1610
