Syllabus
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
The course consists of two parts.
- Phase I: Introduction to electronics and microcontroller programming. 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. As part of this phase, the students are asked to research and present one specific topic or hardware component. Further, students are asked to complete tasks that correspond to the weekly session content. There are irregular sessions during this phase. Assistance and access to our wood workshop and electronics lab is provided during open workshop slots on Thursday (during the lecture period). Irregular mandatory sessions will be scheduled in this slot.
- Phase II: Part of 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).
Date and Location
During the lecture period: In-person (Frauenlobstr. 7a, Room 357) on Thursday at 16:00-18:00 c.t. (unregular). The exact dates will be published exclusively on Moodle.
Registration:
For major informatics and media informatics: Central registration on MoodleRemark
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.
