Annotation
The goal of this course is to make students acquainted with recent interesting applications, smart sensors circuits and peripherals handled by microcontrollers. In a lab students will program their own applications and measure actual properties. Because of usage of a programming language C it will be possible to focus on the practical part of the realization.

2. Programming microcontrollers in C language, development environment and its possibilities, time-division multiplexing, seven-segment displays, matrix keyboard.
3. Interrupt control operation, sources, interrupt vectors and priorities, incremental encoders.
4. Graphic, alphanumerical and LED display control, touch panels, capacitive touch sensors.
5. Analog signal processing and control, AD and DA converters, voltage references.
6. Software and hardware timing.
7. Smart sensor applications, SPI, I2C,1-Wire, CAN.
8. Instruction set, assembler language, program and data memory, direct and indirect addressing, program run control, pipelining, conditional and unconditional branching.
9. Communication between PC and microcontroller, USART, USB, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.
10. Processing of measured data, look-up tables, number conversion.
11. Control and regulation of low power motors (DC, stepper and servo motors), capture and compare modules, PWM and PID control.
