Course detail
Application of Embedded Systems in Mechatronics
FSI-REVAcad. year: 2024/2025
Students will get familiar with fundamental concepts of the design and the development of the embedded systems, especially the architecture of embedded devices, principles of peripherals' operation and algorithmization in a resource-constrained environment.
The lectures cover theoreticall aspects, the seminars comprises a practice in C language programming and algorithmization. The laboratory part covers work with the development kits (PIC18-family controller).

Entry knowledge
* Basic knowledge of algorithmization
* Basic knowledge of electronics' principles
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Attendance at exercises is checked.
Aims
* MCU architecture overview and operation of peripherals
* Practical experience with application development on particular hardware (PIC18 family)
The students obtain theoreticall knowledge in the field of embedded systems applications, especially related to the architecture, methods of algorithmization and the best practice.
After passing this course, the students are able to deal with simple assignments in mechatronics independently, i.e. to analyse the problem, to propose a suitable solution and to implement it.
