Microcontrollers and Their Programming (with Course Project) – VGTU

About this course

The knowledge about the main microcontroller families and their characteristics are obtained in the course of Microcontrollers and their Programming. The PIC18 microcontroller family has been studied. The representative of this family microcontroller PIC18F4520 is studied in details. The development board dedicated to the design of electronic equipments based on the PIC18 family microcontrollers and C compiller MicroC PRO for PIC used for the creating of PIC microcontroller programs using C programming language have been studied as well. The development of concrete microcontroller programs dedicated to the processing of the analogue signals transmitted by the sensors and programs that are used for the time measurement, which can be employed during the research work, is studied.

Expected learning outcomes

The students will learn the principles of developing microcontroller-based devices dedicated to scientific investigations. They will choose the microcontroller and other components for these devices and create microcontroller programs using the C programming language. They will also be able to justify their solutions, whether working individually or in a team.
