Course detail
Hardware and Microprocessor Technique
FSI-VHTAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course is focused on acquiring basic knowledge of computer hardware. Emphasis is placed on the principle of operation and implementation of computers and peripheral devices and methods of communication between them. Students will learn to solve basic tasks from uP technology (I/O control, servo motor control, reading data from sensors, etc.) on practical examples using development kits.
