CEC Semester Eleven 2017

We will wrap up our week by passing along commands and data over a chain of various IoT devices programmed using B4A, B4J and B4R.

May 23 – Day 2: Building an Analog Wireless Transmitter Circuit for MicrocontrollersClassic analog transistor transmitter circuits can be upcycled easily using today’s microcontroller technology. In this session, you will learn how to build and...

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...

Applications of Deep Learning in Industrial systems of vision systems include Inspection and anomaly detection in finished goods and machinery.  We will look these applications, including how they work and how they are applied in an industrial...

The hot application these days is robotics, especially robot vision.  Automation in factories is increasing due to increased competition.  Even in Asian economies with relatively lower cost labor automation is making inroads.  Not all robots have...

Finally, we look at what the future of Deep Learning in Industrial Systems looks like in the near term.  This is a fast moving technology area and predicting out much further would be difficult at best.  We look at trends in hardware, software...

This is the core technology of Deep Learning today.  In this class we will review the technology and its history.  Then we will look at implementations and some of the latest trends in Neural Networks.  New software and hardware technologies are...

Everything IPv6 that relates to the nRF5 nodes and Raspberry Pi router will be discussed. IPv6 will be examined from the viewpoint of the Nordic Semiconductor BLE 6loWPAN stack. Basic IPv6 operations common to all IPv6 devices will also be...
