CEC Semester Eleven 2017

This class will provide descriptions and examples of battery and energy harvesting based power delivery and management.

This class will provide descriptions and examples of some of the common techniques for managing components tightly coupled with the MCU- such as memory, sensors, analog components and digital communications links.

This class will focus on managing power to the rest of the board. External devices and common techniques will be illustrated using example designs.

Today, we will introduce yet another Rapid Application Development tool, which is known as B4R. B4R will be used to create an IoT application that runs on an ESP8266-based piece of IoT hardware. Once we get the ESP8266 IoT app online, we will...

The PN532 is the most popular NFC (Near Field Communication) IC used in today’s smartphones and PoS (Point of Sale) readers. In this session you will learn about NFC/RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology and how to interface the PN532...

Bluetooth allows short range communication between electronic devices. BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) reduces power consumption of 3.3V battery powered devices during data transmission events. The Arduino 101 provides a BLE chip allowing concept short...

Handheld IR (Infrared) remotes are common wireless controls used to operate cable boxes, TVs, and electronic toys. In this session you will learn how to prototype concept IR control circuits to be interface with microcontrollers. The littleBits IR...
