CEC Semester Ten 2016

An introduction to littleBits eModules and rapid build of Home Automation concepts will be presented to CEC participants. The hands-on project discussion will be on building a Coffee Control Unit using littleBits eModules and a smartphone.

CEC participants will learn how to develop Home Automation devices using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). In addition, CEC participants will build a Programmable Timer for Small Appliances using a PLC.

For our third class, we will delve into other elements of the mbed structure including the communications core and ties for multitasking and RTOS.

In this penultimate class, we will look at the tools available from the developer area. We will then look at ways that we can participate and use many of the tools and code available.

In this penultimate class, we will take what we learned in the previous class and make use of the existing shares to reuse and build upon other’s code, using examples for the Particle Photon board that we used in a previous CEC class. We will also...

In our last class, we will look at local clients for code version control and collaboration, including some other tools available such as Atlassian’s Bitbucket.

To start we will look at specifying the algorithm to be used in the FPGA and the tools used to verify it.  An overview of the whole tool chain and some examples of the initial steps will be presented.
