Course Description
Introduces the student to popular 8051 microcontroller. Topics include the hardware, software, and interfacing of the Intel 8051 microcontroller. The emphasis is on interfacing the 8051 to real-world devices such as switches, displays, motors, and A/D converters, through assembly language and possibly C language programming. Robotics projects included. Prerequisite: CS 133U; and EET 122.Intended Outcomes for the course
1. The student will be able to program a microcontroller system in assembly code and C.
2. The student will be able to build and test a microcontroller based system.
3. The student will be able to interface the system to switches, keypads, and displays.
4. The student will be able to interface the system to A/D and D/A converters.
5. The student will be able to describe the internal architecture of the ATMega128, including counters, timers, ports, and memory.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
Assessment methods are to be determined by the instructor. Typically, in-class quizzes, exams and weekly homework assignments will be used. Laboratory assessment will be by program demonstration, code review, reports, and/or practical skills testing.
