Course Description

This short course aims to present principles of data communications and real time embedded systems networking. PIC18F microcontroller family and multiple serial interfaces including USART, CAN bus along with other embedded standards will be introduced. Students will become familiar with the microcontrollers and communication networks through practicing multiple Lab activities. Examples of current embedded systems used in vehicles and future developments for CAV (connected and autonomous vehicles) will be discussed.

Prerequisite

Individuals wanting to take this course should have basic knowledge of the topics of digital design as well as micro and programmable controllers.

Course Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to do the following:

• Be familiar with PICDEM 2 Plus Demo Board and MPLAB IDE integrated development environment
• Modify and test a program using PIC18F microcontroller
• Be familiar with PICDEM NET2 (Ethernet, TCP/IP) and Zigbee (wireless) network environment
• Be familiar with Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols and frames
• Demonstrate competence in extensive research on one of the embedded networking topics for life-long learning
• Specify, design, implement, and debug an embedded system project
