Traditional approaches to developing embedded controls include using C and C++ programming languages. OpenPLC introduces an open-source approach to creating embedded control applications based on the International Electrotechnical Commission’s 61131-3 Functional Programming Languages for Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) standard. In this webinar series, CEC participants will learn a new approach to embedded controls development using OpenPLC. The ESP32 microcontroller will be the instructional platform used to present Functional Block Diagrams (FBDs) and Ladder Diagrams (LDs) OpenPLC embedded programming concepts.
The smartphone is the most common mobile device used worldwide. Embedded sensors extend the smartphone’s capabilities by allowing the extension of connecting with electronic devices, machines, and humans. Therefore, the embedded sensors allow the user to communicate efficiently through the smartphone’s assistive and haptic technologies.
This webinar series will explore with the CEC participants the use of embedded sensors within the smartphone to aggregate physical data such as light, movement, and sound. To extend the smartphone capabilities, CEC participants will learn how to integrate the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense platform with the smartphone to aggregate physical data wirelessly. Further, a data analysis approach will be presented to CEC participants using Google Data Studio.
Agile has become the de facto methodologies used by most software development teams today. Does Agile really fit though with embedded software development? In this course, we will explore the benefits and modern takes on Agile for embedded software development. Attendees will learn about how to apply modern Agile practices to their software development.
