Description

This course primarily teaches the student how to write custom software to deal with mechatronic systems as well as to develop user interfaces for such systems. The first part of the course covers; data acquisition systems, programming digital I/O and analogue I/O. Programming timers and developing software to communicate via serial communication and peripheral interfaces. Interfacing via CAN bus. Driving DC and stepper motors through H-bridges. The second part of the course teaches the student to develop user interfaces with C++. It covers object classes, encapsulation, inheritance, operator and function overloading and virtual functions.
