Course Information

Short Intro

This course provides practical tutorials for Embedded System Development, based on STM32 micro-controller from STMicroelectronics.

Prerequisites

We expect you to have the following skills before taking this course:

Required：

• Digital and Analog Circuit
• C programming language

Recommended：

• Electronic Design

Teaching Plan

We organize this course into a 4-week session (8 hours per week). The main contents are listed below:

Topology	Task
	GPIO - flashing led
	GPIO - button
	GPIO - rocking led
	Clock tree - high speed external resonator
	UART - simple serial transmission
	SPI - external flash (W25Q64)
	Interrupt - buzzer
	I2C - text on OLED (SSD1306, 128x64 Dot Matrix)
	Timer - breathing led
	Timer - measure PWM and print via UART
	Timer - encoder with a control knob
	Timer - servo
	Timer - motor (TB6612FNG)
	ADC - photosensitive sensor
	ADC - infrared sensor

Project

We try to build a 2-wheel self-balancing car from scratch by the end of this tutorial session.

Topology	Task
	Prototype - wheel speed control via PWM
	Prototype.parameters - stand on a soft surface (higher friction is better)
	Prototype.parameters - reduce high/low-frequency oscillations
	Prototype.parameters - resistant to external force
	Prototype.parameters - stand on a hard surface
	Prototype.parameters - being able to recover from falling down
	EDA - draw schematics
	EDA - design PCB layout
	EDA - print PCB

Methodology

Problem-solving-oriented, with a primary emphasis on practical skills.

以解决实际问题为导向，主要强调实践技能。
