Course Description

This course serves as an introduction to microcontrollers, using the MC68HC11 as an example.

Course Work

Unless otherwise specified, all work that you submit in this course must be your own; unauthorized collaboration is considered academic dishonesty. Please save us both a lot of trouble by realizing that I will pursue any such transgressions to the fullest extent possible. As a rule, late assigments are not generally accepted (e.g., attempting to hand in an assigment after the start of class on the due date will result in a grade of 0 for that assignment). Late assignments will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances AND with prior arrangement. A penalty may apply.

Grading Policy

Final grades will be determined via the following breakdown:

 

Exam #1	30%
Homework and Quizzes	10%
Class Participation (and quizzes)	5%
Design Lab Practical	10%
Lab Project	20%
Comprehensive Final Exam	25%

Your class participation grade will be determined by your on time attendance to class as well as your participation in classroom discussions. Pop quizzes, when given, will cover material previously covered in class, previous homework assignments, and/or simple questions on the current days reading assignment.   Please read Making the Grade by Kurt Wiesenfeld and keep his views (which I share) in mind when deciding how much effort to invest in your coursework.

Schedule of Upcoming Classes

No. Date Topic, Reading, and Assignment 1 Sep 1 Introduction Discuss Syllabus Read Chapter 1 Homework # 1 assigned.

(in HH 319) 37 Dec 1 Meet in Harding 319 Programming On-chip EEPROM (under software control) 38 Dec 3 Meet in Harding 319 Using on-board (off-chip) flash and on-chip EEPROM to run programs. Running w/out Buffalo Monitor. 39 Dec 6 Meet in Harding 319 (More) on using on-board (off-chip) flash and on-chip EEPROM to run programs. Running w/out Buffalo Monitor, (resetting directly to your program, etc) using a simple light flashing program. 40 Dec 8 Meet in Harding 319 Communicating with another board in stand-alone mode. I meant for you to use parallel (port C), but the groups that were farther along selected the SCI interface. HomeworkBring a soft copy of a program to receive characters over the SCI subsystem and put them out to your LCD display. Use the default power-up parameters wherever possible. You probably ought to put out a few (10, 16, whatever) then stop so that we can read them and make sure you're getting the characters being sent. 41 Dec 10 Last Class (Still meeting in HH 319) Final Project Report Due . If you do not bring it to class, you must arrange to put it in my hands by the time I go home on Friday. Dec 15 Optional Review Session at 5 PM in CEH 358 Dec 17 Final exam -- 9 am -- Crothers 351 (Friday, December 17)
