CTE210 Microcomputers
This course serves as a comprehensive treatment of microcontroller fundamentals. The following topics will be covered: microcontroller architecture, assembly language programming, and their role in embedded systems. The course will focus on the Microchip PIC16F and PIC18F microcontroller families. We will use these in order to understand their architectures, CPUs, registers, addressing modes, parallel and serial I/O ad well as the role they play in today's technology.
Laboratory work is hands-on using the Microchip PICkit sets and the PIC18F simulator.
