CEC Semester Eleven 2017

Before a developer can start developing their own APIs and HALs, they need to understand a few critical characteristics that all portable and reusable software exhibit. In this session, Jacob will dig into the details on how to write reusable code...

MCUs are the bricks on which the IoT is being built. This class will provide the background needed to understand why MCUs are used and how common IoT functions are implemented.

We begin by looking at architectural frameworks for the IoT.  We begin with conceptual frameworks and move on to implementation frameworks.  We will also discuss some research efforts in this area.

This introductory session discusses the PLC Architecture, setting up the Velocio “vBuilder” software and building a basic ON/OFF controller to operate piezo buzzer with LED indicator using the simulator stick.

This class will provide descriptions and examples of MCU-based ADC peripherals used in IoT applications. Hardware resources, constraints and limitations, and example designs will be described.

The types of data generated are as diverse as the things in the Internet of Things.  The generation and handling of this data will be discussed.  This includes all levels of the IoT architecture.

This class is a continuation of the introductory PLC Basics session with emphasis on Examine IF Open (XIO) and Examine IF Closed (XIC) bit instructions. Basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT) will be discussed. Participants will learn to write Ladder...
