Course detail

Peripheral Devices

FIT-IPZAcad. year: 2023/2024

The principles of construction and control of peripheral devices, communication with the processor. I/O bus: communication over the bus, principles of bus allocation, interrupt requests. An overview of I/O interfaces. UART, I2C, SPI, OneWire. Memory interfaces. Camera interfaces. Audio and video interfaces. USB. CAN. Wire vs. wireless communication. Students can apply the theoretical knowledge from the lectures to practical experiments while building a robotic device based on Raspberry Pi 4B (Python programming) and various peripheral devices.

Syllabus

During the 8 labs, students will assemble and implement a robotic assistant device (Raspberry Pi 4B). It can be set to a MONITORING state, meaning that it is monitoring the surroundings and in the case of a detected movement, it fires alarm and makes a camera recording (understanding camera interfaces, audio interfaces, memory interfaces). Furthermore, the robot can be set to a METEO state, it measures temperature and humidity and in the case of detected abnormal values it notifies the user (understanding I2C, SPI, OneWire). The robot is moving on the wheels - MOTION state (understanding USB, wireless).
