Abstract
The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.
Objective
Bluethoot Low Energy System on Chip – Firmware Programming and sensors Interfacing using an Arm Cortex-M (Nordic nrf52838) Microcontroller The NRF52832 Bltuethoo Low Energy System on Chip produced by Nordic Semiconductor is one of the pioneering low-power chip to integrate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 5.0) and microcontroller functionality into a single die. With the introduction of the BLE 5.0 standard, Bluetooth has achieved high data bandwidth with low power consumption. This makes the technology an ideal match for many applications i.e. IoT sensor application or audio streaming, by address two of the greatest bottlenecks of these devices. This course offers the chance for participants to do hands-on programming of microcontrollers. In particular, the focus will be laid on interfacing with sensors, acquisition of data, on-board event-driven data processing and BLE transmissions. The programming will be performed in C. Today’s microcontrollers offer a low power, efficient and cost-effective solution of tackling a nearly infinite number of task specific applications. Ranging from IoT devices, wearable system, sensor (mesh) device, all the way to be being integrated as submodule for the most complex of system such as cars, planes and rockets. Microcontrollers derive their advantages from the efficient use of resources and as such require very efficient and resource-saving programming. It is therefore mandatory to understand the microcontroller’s hardware components such as processor cores, ADC, clocks, serial communication, wireless communication, timers, interrupts, etc. The P&S includes 5 weeks project where the student will setup a IoT sensor node to monitor electric power transmission and distribution system. The course will be taught in English.
