CEC Semester Seven 2015

The ACKme WiFi networking modules mean Numbat and Wallaby. In this lecture we also will tame an ACKme Bobcat Bluetooth module and watch it walk peacefully with a Numbat module on the Internet trail. This hardware project is based on the ACKme...

In this lecture we will design and implement a trans-Internet Bluetooth session using Microchip's RN4020 Bluetooth Low Energy module. This class also will have you ready for designing and implementing the Bluetooth session's Internet gateway...

This class will demonstrate how an $8 set of ASK radio modules can perform monitor and control operations using the Internet. Our project task for this class will involve designing and building the ASK radio entry and exit Internet gateways.

As we will have learned in Day 4, there are limitations in IIR filters that can create challenges in design and response. In this class we will look at the finite impulse response (FIR) filter and compare the design criteria as well as the...

As we will have learned in Day 1, a resonant circuit is affected by the circuits that exist at its input and output. In this class, we will look in depth at the addition of operational amplifiers (and in RF - other amplifiers) to make powerful and...

This session will introduce the ARM Cortex-M family of processors, along with its features, instruction set and scalability. We will examine an STM32 Nucleo development kit utilizing a Cortex-M0+, along with how to set it up and use it for...

One of the most important features of the ARM Cortex-M processors is their extensive focus on low-power capabilities. This makes them perfect for battery-operated devices. This session will examine low-power design techniques such as energy...
