PH 131 Microcontrollers in Research & Design
This course is a beginning course appropriate for students who have no prior science, microcontroller and/or programming experience. Students will use a microcontroller to collect data from various sensors measuring different aspects of the physical universe and use actuators such as motors and lights to manipulate the physical environment.
Notes
Lower Division Transfer (LDT) Course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Collect data from various digital and/or analog sensor devices connected to a microcontroller. Analyze collected data and present it in several different formats. Turn on and off motors, lights and other actuators depending up on conditions measured by sensor readings. Use basic computer programming features such as: variables, loops, read/write commands, and conditional statements.
