CEC Semester Ten 2016

Basics of Home Security and devices will be explained to CEC participants followed by a hands-on project discussion of an Ultrasonic Detection and Alarm Device.

CEC participant discussion of using IoT techniques to monitor a home’s temperature and humidity using WiFi, sensors, and embedded controller. The hands-on project to be explored is a Grove Pi+ Temperature-Humidity Monitoring unit.

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.

Now that we have learned the basic features of mbed, we will look at the many options for porting it to our Cortex-M processor designs. We will also look ahead to other course topics to dig deeper into the power and future of mbed in the ARMv8...

In this leadoff class, we will look at the concepts behind software version control and code collaboration. We will develop the checklist of what we need for an efficient system and what led Torvalds to develop Git.

For our second class, we will take the concepts from the first class, apply them to Git, and look at its structure and operation. We will also introduce the terminology that we will use through the rest of the week.
