About this Course

Certificate in Microcontroller Applications Module Synopsis Computer Programming This practical-oriented module equips participants with the basic knowledge and skills in computer programming using ‘C’ language. The main topics include basic computing concepts, fundamentals of C, branching, loops, and C functions. On completion of the module, participants will be able to explain and write C programs for simple engineering applications. Basic Microcontroller Programming This module introduces participants to the fundamentals of microcontroller architecture as well as basic programming to interface with various external input and output devices. C programming language is used to illustrate the operation of the microcontroller. Interfacing the microcontroller to basic input-output devices such as switches, LEDs, 7-segment display and keypads help to demonstrate the behaviour of the application software running on a working system. Microcontroller Interfacing & Applications This module provides general microcontroller interfacing circuits, and example programs for most common input/output devices used within microcontroller circuits. The interfacing circuits range from standard interfacing to low current and low voltage input/output devices to using transistors, relays or opto-isolators for high current and high voltage input/output devices to some advanced component interfacing, such as stepper motor, serial port, I2C interface etc.
