Topical Outline

ECE 4175 last taught Spring 2012; replaced by ECE 4185.

Microcontroller resources, instruction set, addressing
modes, assembler use, emulator use, LED display, stepper motor output.

Looptime considerations, programmable timer use, controlling output timing,
measuring input timing, RPG input, LCD display of fixed strings.

LCD display and voice output of variable strings.

Keyswitches and state machines, analog-to-digital converter input.

Interactions with a temperature transducer having a pulse-width-modulated
output.

Interactions with devices with strange serial protocols (e.g., one-wire
interface with infared sensor), design projects.

C language coding versus assembly language

Multiple-microcontroller interactions via UART, low-power considerations.
