Event Details
*** Mask is required. Vaccination also required.***
The study session focuses on Derek Molloy's books on Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone, along with the Make: AVR Programming book. The Raspberry Pi book was published in 2016 and based on RPi 3, the Beaglebone book was published in 2015 and updated in 2019 to include PocketBeagle. The Make: AVR Programming book was published in 2014. These books are bit old but still relevant for learning about basic hardware circuits and programming.
Study sessions are fairly dry and boring. Bring a laptop, and we have extra RPi and ATMega328p to try out the book examples and get started.
Utilizing the materials from the books, we will begin building a simple rover platform, ie monitoring the Li-ion battery pack via ADC (AVR Chap 07), Motor driver control via PWM (AVR Chap10), reading the motor encoder via Hardware ISR, Interrupt Service Routine (Chap 08), communication with RPi vis SPI or I2C (Chap 16 or 17). We will breadboard the circuits before moving to designing the PCB via KiCAD.
