Following the IC shortage, STmicro has rebounded and announced a variety of new generation microcontrollers and peripherals. This lecture series would take a look at the updated ST software and hardware development tools. During the week we will design and scratch build a representative ST microcontroller-based device. We will then use our new device as a target platform for the firmware we will write to support it. The ST microcontroller project will lean heavily towards IoT and include a means of remotely accessing the microcontroller and its peripherals.
Industrial Controls are depending on more sophisticated microcontrollers to process signals from electronic sensors and operate electromechanical actuators efficiently. In this webinar course, participants will learn how to implement industrial controls using the ESP32 microcontroller. Programming concepts using Micropython and OpenPLC will illustrate basic concepts in Industrial Controls, like driving motors, Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) Control, basic logic implementation, temperature sensing, and data logging techniques.
The course would explore using Rust to write low-level drivers microcontroller-based systems. We’d spend some time looking at Rust as an embedded language, and then work through examples of writing a GPIO and Serial driver. We’d look at SVD files, along with peripheral access crates (PAC). The goal would be to get developers up and running from scratch on a development board and allow them to compare the code size and performance between drivers written in Rust and vendor provided drivers. We’d use either an STM32 or an NXP development board.
