(eCornell) Designing Complex Sensing and Functions in Interactive Systems
About This Course
In this course, you will attach sensing and input components to your microcontroller board. Your knowledge of state diagrams will be expanded to include more sophisticated interactions, and you will become familiar with the variety of sensing components available to you when you want to design a new system. The core project in this course is a data logger device, so another new skill you will explore is the management of the data storage capabilities of microcontrollers. Related to this, you will develop greater fluency in the use of software- and hardware-based modules, which will enable you to approach new components that come onto the market and understand how to use them and their associated software. The course is provided by eCornell in partnership with Genashtim.
