The CEC will get you up to speed quickly on a host of technologies you've been meaning to study via a series of 45-minute online lessons taught by our faculty of expert tutors.
May 25 - Day 2 - Writing plcLib Applications
Day 2 will allow attendees to explore the plcLib writing style through Ladder Logic-based control circuit applications. Basic logic gates (AND, OR, and NOT) will be investigated through a series of hands-on plcLib lab activities. Also, the...
April 30 - Day 5 - Running an Inference on Target
Creating a model and testing it is great, but it’s not complete until the inference is deployed on a target and ran in the real world. In this session, we will examine how to deploy a model onto an STM32 development board and integrate it with...
April 29 - Day 4 - Training a Neural Network Part 2
Training a network isn’t a trivial endeavor. It often requires as much art as it does science in order to be successful. In this session, we will continue to explore how to train a model. We will discuss how to test the model and determine how...
April 28 - Day 3 - Training a Neural Network Part 1
Once developers have the data they want to use and have captured and labeled an adequate dataset, its time to train a model. In this session, we will start to investigate the tools developers can use to build a machine learning model. We will...
April 26 - Day 1 - Introduction to Machine Learn on MCU’s
Machine learning (ML) has often been considered a technology that operates on high-end servers and doesn’t have a place in traditional embedded systems. That perception is quickly changing. In this session, attendees will get a brief introduction...
March 26 - Day 5 - Electromechanical Relay Flasher
Attendees will build a simple electromechanical relay timer using a micro:bit and MicroPython. The operation of a transistor relay control circuit will be discussed.  Basic electronic sensing and control applications will be discussed in this...
March 25 - Day 4 -MicroPython Limit Detection Simulator
MicroPython will be demonstrated in this session. The application of detecting rotary or linear mechanical motion can be accomplished with the micro:bit and MicroPython.  Mechanical limit detection of such physical motions can be accomplished with...
March 24 - Day 3 - Converting Blockly Code to MicroPython
On Day 3, attendees will explore Blockly Code to MicroPython using a micro:bit Blink and Breathe application.  Attendees will learn how to convert Blockly Code to MicroPython. The wiring of the micro:bit to a 3-watt LED will be presented.
