Description
This lecture/laboratory course will introduce students to digital concepts, numbering systems, digital circuits, and systems. The C programming language is developed as the coding platform for the microcontroller, combining both software and hardware of digital systems into the course.
The laboratory component of this course requires students to build, connect, control, and troubleshoot external digital circuits using the PIC microcontroller engineering platform combined with the C programming language in a variety of challenging applications.
Electronic test and measurement equipment such as the digital storage oscilloscope, logic analyzer, function generator, digital logic probe, digital multi-meter (DMM), variable DC power supply, and proto-board are used throughout the course. Prerequisite: ETC 113 and ETC 112 CoReq- ETC 114.
