CEC Semester Seventeen 2020

The other side of the system is the hardware. We will discuss the advances in hardware that make the implementation of AI/ML in embedded systems. This is a fast-moving area driven by improvements in areas such as memory capacity, processor speed...

We will review in detail the algorithmic landscape making up the software and analytic side of the system. This class will provide an overview of the topic of AI/ML and some history, as well as examples of detailed algorithms.

In this class we look at the environment we are considering and the requirements for such systems.  Overall AI approaches will be outlined. The types of devices available that make the use of AI in embedded systems will be reviewed, as well as...

The final lecture in this series will consist of an application based on a XBee Wi-Fi module. If you have followed my chain of lectures, you know that I like to do things with cell phones.  So, we’re going to assemble an application that involves...

The object of today’s lecture is to introduce you to an easy to use mesh network implementation. DigiMesh is a proprietary wireless mesh networking topology developed by Digi’s RF engineering experts which allows for time synchronized sleeping...

Today’s discussion centers around the design and construction of a high-power long-range 900MHz XBee-based sensor node. The co-star of the project is a very low power ARM microcontroller.  Firmware details will be exposed along with the hardware...

MicroPython is a popular scaled-down version of Python that is designed to run on microcontrollers. Today’s lecture will consist of MicroPython code segments performing various tasks on and around various XBee modules.  This lecture will also look...

The lecture series will begin with an examination of the available XBee development tools. Development tools provided by Digi will be utilized to configure and exercise various XBee radio modules. Development tools that are useful in XBee...
