Course detail

Microprocessor Control

FSI-RTE Acad. year: 2018/2019 Summer semester

The course familiarizes students with applications of microprocessors used for measurements and process control. They are expected to have basic knowledge of digital circuits and elementary level of English. The students will widen their knowledge of digital circuits and their use. They will work individually with development systems for the Motorola DSP 56F800 microprocessors and develop programs in the C language. The course is focused on applications of the one-chip microcontrollers, measurement of electric and nonelectric quantities and digital control.
