KurzbeschreibungDer Bereich Praktika, Projekte, Seminare umfasst Lehrveranstaltungen in unterschiedlichen Formaten zum Erwerb von praktischen Kenntnissen und Fertigkeiten. Ausserdem soll selbstständiges Experimentieren und Gestalten gefördert, exploratives Lernen ermöglicht und die Methodik von Projektarbeiten vermittelt werden.
LernzielMicrocontrollers - Programming in C – Drones – Autonomous Drones – Embedded System – Sensors.


Drones can be fun to use but understanding the hardware and software and building and programming them to be intelligent and autonomous is even better. This course gives the basis of the embedded systems having the drones as the primary target. The course will introduce embedded systems and, in particular, the microcontroller ARM Cortex-M, focusing on all the crucial blocks such as Interrupts, GPIO, ADC's, Timers, and Serial communication protocols. Apart from the core topics, real-time and power-efficient algorithms for attitude and motor control are also discussed, making the drone efficient. Finally, exciting drone exercises are supported in the course to experiment with the development kit. The course will end with a 4-5 weeks project where the students will make the drone fly with some specific goal. It is not required any previous knowledge except C language.
The course will be taught in English and organized by the new Project-Based Learning center.
