Aim:
This project will provide practical knowledge and skills in the use of a microcontroller in digital systems. The projects are carried out in small project groups.
After the course you should be able to:
- (i) Design with microprocessor-based hardware
- (ii) Program a computer system with assembly language
- (iii) Make calculations using binary arithmetic and digital logic
- (iv) Use analog components in the digital environment
- (v) Construct a small computer with a microcontroller and peripherals
- (vi) Troubleshoot software and hardware
- (vii) Read, understand and use data sheets
- (viii) Use the processor's input and output devices
- (ix) Contribute to the discussion and problem solving in a project
- (x) Write a simple specification for the final product
- (xi) Give substantial input into the final report
- (xii) Project documentation, reporting and presentation to larger group
- (xiii) Use Swedish language in a technical documentary context
- (xiv) Work in a team
- (xv) Economise with available resources.

Organisation:
The course includes 5 lectures, 2 laborations and a project. The lectures contain the hardware to be used and some basic analogue electronics.
The project is performed in a team of students. Each team will choose a design task from a list. The project then entails the construction of a microcontrollerbased unit including both hardware and software, from a given specification to the finished product. The programming language is assembler. The project shall be documented in a report. In connexion with the project scientific articles concerning projects and/or programming shall be studied. One supervisor is allotted to each group. Necessary components, computers and instruments will be available to the participants. The course finishes with a number of compulsary seminars where all project groups presents the resulting units. Parallell to the project there will be a number of lectures. The technical aspects of the report is allowed to be completed during the following period. A concluding reflexion document shall be written.
