Workshop Sketching with Hardware - Design of interactive Systems
Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt
Contact: swh ät um.ifi.lmu.de
Hours per week: 4
ECTS credits: 6
Language: English
Date and Location
(1) During the lecture period: In-person (Frauenlobstr. 7a) on Thursday at 5:15pm (17:15 Uhr) (irregular meetings, not every week). (2) During lecture break: One 4-day prototyping workshop in-person at Frauenlobstr. 7a. Dates are announced later.
Modul
Registration is limited to students of informatics and media informatics! Counts as individual or group practical course (Einzel- oder Gruppenpraktikum). !IMPORTANT! Students who seek to fulfill requirements for minor media informatics (Nebenfach Medieninformatik) (e.g., students in arts and multimedia; KuMM) select SWH-NebenfachMI ().
Registration:
Central allocation (Zentralanmeldung) on Uni2Work
Remark
Please note that due to the engaging nature of the group projects, students often spend more than the allocated time on the development of their prototypes. This is especially true for the group project implementation scheduled during the lecture break.
Content
Students in this course learn about the basics of electronics, circuit design, microcontroller programming, and physical prototyping. The students apply this knowledge by building a smart object.
- Build basic circuits connected to the microcontroller
-
- Output: LEDs, servos, motors, speakers, displays
- Input: buttons, dials, light sensitive resistors, accelerometer, distance sensors
- Program and debug MicroPython on ESP32 / Raspberry Pi Pico
-
- Input, Output
- Networking
Course Structure
The course consists of two parts.
- Learning phase: The students receive a free hardware kit in the beginning of the lecture period and familiarize themselves with electronics and microcontroller prototyping. This phase is supported by a course book. There are no regular sessions during this phase. Assistance is provided during open workshop slots on Thursday 4pm-5pm (during the lecture period). Irregular mandatory sessions will be scheduled in this slot.
- Group phase: The implementation of a group project is mainly done during a 4-day prototyping workshop at Frauenlobstr. 7a. This will be organized in the lecture break (dates are announced during the learning phase).
