CEC Semester Eight 2015

This class will provide a background on the development environments typically found for MCU-based motor control designs. We will investigate particularly the STM32 Nucleo FOC kit (P-NUCLEO-IHM001) hands-on.

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 leadoff class, we will review the basics of how a task-switching RTOS operates and the design criteria we need to begin our project. We will look at the Freescale MQX real-time operating system and the elements that we will be using in our...

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.
