Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with microcontrollers, its peripherals and implementation of this technology in embedded control systems. The content of the most lectures and exercises is about the microcontroller itself and its peripherals in detail. The students are able to choose suitable technical equipment for the given task and they can program the microcontroller and configure its peripherals, which will allow to implement the specified control algorithms.
