| - | ==== Discussions === | ||
| - | | ||
| - | 1. What is an embedded system? | ||
| - | - An embedded system is the integration of sensors, actuators and intelligence into a system | ||
| - | - Allows the system to produce more capable and robust performance | ||
| - | 2. What is a microcontroller? | ||
| - | - A microcontroller is esentially a small computer on a single circuit board | ||
| - | - Usually contains a processor, memory and programmable I/O | ||
| - | 3. SPI, ADC, UART, I2C | ||
| - | - I2C stands for inter-integrated circuit and is a serial computer bus | ||
| - | - It is used for attaching lower-speed peripheral I2C to processors and micro controllers. | ||
| - | - UART is a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter that translates data between serial/parallel forms. | ||
| - | - It is used for serial communications over a computer or serial device port. | ||
| - | - Analog to digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts a physical quantity (voltage) to a digital form | ||
| - | - It enables the conversion of a physical quantity to a digital number that represents the quantity's amplitude | ||
| - | - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus is a synchronous serial communication interface specification | ||
| - | - It is used for short distance communication, primarily in embedded systems | ||
| - | 4. How do you think this information will relate to this lab? | ||
| - | - They are all communication protocols | ||
| - | - This information is useful as these protocols are integrated into the embedded system | ||
