Electronic Technology - ELECT 144
Introduction to Microcontrollers
3 Credit Hours1 Lecture Hours2 Laboratory Hours
Course Description
This course will introduce the student to the concepts of microcontroller architecture, block components, numbering systems and microprocessor program editing software. Representative microcontroller commands and elementary programming of a microcontroller will be studied. Students will work with hands-on experiments, which they will learn to expand and customize for their personal needs.
