Synopsis:

The goal of this course is to make students acquainted with recent interesting applications, smart sensors circuits and peripherals handled by microcontrollers and to show them how to make an interesting lab experiment. In a lab students will program their own application and measure its properties. Because of usage of a programming language C it will be possible to focus on the practical part of the realization and show the pedagogical and didactic methods for experiments creation.
