Microprocessors and Microcomputers
FEKT-BMAMAcad. year: 2015/2016
This course is focused on the main aspects of use microcontrollers for design of electronics devices. Students will be acquaint with C programming language and specific aspects of programming 8 and 16bits microcontrollers. They learn how to control and use integrated peripherals, possibilities and advantages of modern and progressive Integrated Development Environments, for design, development, debugging and testing of software.
