CEC Semester Eight 2015

This class will provide a detailed look at the key algorithms used in motor control design. We will explore, hands-on, actual code. Field Oriented Control (FOC) and six-step algorithms will be covered.

This class will provide a quick introduction and overview of the key types of motors and control algorithms for microcontroller-based motor designs.

Now that our code is written, we will need to test and debug it. In this final class, we will see how the debugger works with the RTOS to provide task-level debugging to help us debug and make the application work. The finished code will be...

In this penultimate class, we will take what we learned so far and define the tasks of our simple project. We will look at some simple "lightweight" elements that we may choose for our project, such as messaging, events, semaphores, and mutexes.

Analog peripherals, such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), have significant feature differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, and this class will highlight several of the most important ones.

Other important differences in peripheral implementations will be covered in this class, including USB, Ethernet, Security, and external memory interfaces.

Timers are perhaps the most complex of peripherals, with the widest range of supported features. This class will dig into the details of several common timer implementations.
