Course DescriptionIn this course main embedded design applications which uses sensors and control circuits have been thought by using a high level embedded application development environment. A high level programming language and an embedded application design environment have been though by applications. Those applications are demonstration of LCD (liquid crystal display), sensor and computer data exchange (analogue and digital) and using as a control and an indicator of buttons and LED?s. Students also experience the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design and implementation, assembly of electronic circuit devices and embedded design by a design example.
