Course objectives
Course content
Labs
The course uses the theoretical knowledge learned in Digital Technology I in laboratory exercises. 1. Introduction to Arduino programming. Arduino IDE, editor, compiler, uploader. 2. LED blinking example. Introduction to TinkerCAD. 3. Serial communication (USB). Printing to the serial line. 4. Simple inputs: push-button, switch. Debouncing (HW and SW). 5. Components in TinkerCAD. Breadboard, LEDs, buttons. 6. Power sources, current and voltage measurement. 7. State machines with switch-case structures. 8. Sensors and actuators. 9. TTL, CMOS ICs, integration with Arduino. 10. Motor control, DC motors and servos. 11. Serial input, commands. 12. Midterm exam. 13. Make-up/retake of midterm exam.
Acquired competences
Knowledge
- Knowledge of the principles and methods of natural sciences (mathematics, physics, other natural sciences) relevant to the field of IT.
Skills
He/she can apply his/her knowledge acquired during his/her study to acquire deeper knowledge in the field of information engineering and to process special literature and solve problems related to information technology. - He/she constantly improves his/her knowledge and keeps up with the development of the computer engineering profession.
Attitude
- He/she genuinely represents the professional principles of engineering and information technology fields. - He/she aims to see through the entire engineering system not only his/her own field. - He/she understands and embraces the ethical principles and legal implications of his/her profession. - He/she makes an effort to work efficiently and to high standards.
Autonomy and responsibilities
- He/she feels responsible for IT systems analysis, development and operation, both individually and as part of a team. - He/she reveals the weaknesses of the technologies applied, risks of processes and initiates measures which reduce them.
Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
Attending classes, reviewing and supplementing what you have heard at home based on the literature recommended in class. In the penultimate week of the course, the student will take a computer-based test, which can be made up in the last week.
Generative AI usage
1st position: Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
