4SWS/ 6ECTS, Mond. 13:15-16:30, Mode: Hybrid
Content
- Applications of Microcomputers in Assisted Living;
- Introduction to Microcontrollers & Single-Board Computers;
- Fundamentals of Digital Logic and Electronics;
- Software development for Single-Board Computers;
- Sensors Integration e.g. for Vital Data Measurement;
- Interfacing and Communication protocols.
Objective/learning outcome:
By the end of this course, the students should be able to understand and use development skills for sensors prototyping, sensor data acquisition, communication over serial/parallel/wireless interfaces. The students get to know the specifications, functionality and potential of modern Single-board computer. Furthermore, the students can apply acquired skills to develop/design embedded systems in Assisted Living applications.
Learning Method:
Seminar/Lecture with exercises, Practical systems Implementation in Laboratory. Basic prior knowledge of programming is appreciated.
