Lecture/Lab. First in the team design project series on programmable electromechanical systems design. Topics: transistors as switches, basic digital circuits, C language features for embedded software, register level programming, input/output ports and user I/O, hardware abstraction layers, software design, event driven programming, state machines, state charts. Programming of the embedded system is done in C. Students must have a computer (Win10 or OSX) on which they can install the tools used in the classes and a workspace to complete the lab assignments (in case the lab is closed due to COVID). Lab fee. Limited Enrollment, must attend first lecture session. Prerequisite: You should have had a programming course taught in C, C++ or Java and an introductory course in circuit analysis prior to enrolling in ME218a. Loaner test instruments will be provided in the event that the lab is closed due to COVID.
