Current Course
October 19 -23
GUI Development for Embedded Devices
Instructed by: Fred Eady
Course Details

As the title implies, this lecture series will describe how to design and create GUIs for embedded devices using tools such as TouchGFX and B4J (Basic 4 Java). The GUI objects will target touch-enabled TFT displays that are native to the embedded device. GUI objects that run on a personal computer and directly control an embedded device will also be discussed.

November 16 - 20
Prototyping Smart Robotics-AI Concepts using an ESP32
Instructed by: Dr. Don Wilcher
Course Details

This webinar course will take a research perspective using the Gemini Robotics Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for Robot Embodied Intelligence as the guiding principle in prototyping intelligent machines. The ESP32 microcontroller, along with supporting electronic component materials, will allow participants to be engaged in building and experimenting with the VLA model. Code generation for virtual and physical modeling of kinematics and control using AI will be explored in this webinar.

December 14 - 18
Pico RP2040 Bare-metal using Eclipse
Instructed by: Fred Eady
Course Details

I have looked at what it would take to use Eclipse and the RP2040. It can be done, but one would have to jump through hoops of fire to make it work. In my opinion, using Visual Studio Code is a much better option for the RP2040. There is a dedicated Visual Studio Code plugin for the RP2040 that allows for the building and debugging of RP2040 applications. I will abide by your decision.

Overview
Edge Vision with OpenMV: AI Processing on the New N6 & AE3 Boards
Instructed by: Jacob Beningo

For years, running a neural network on a microcontroller meant accepting a few frames per second and a model too small to be useful. The OpenMV N6 and AE3 change that, pairing Cortex-M55 cores with dedicated neural processors that run YOLOv8 object detection at real-time frame rates. This course walks through the full development pipeline in MicroPython: capturing the frame, converting and deploying a model to the NPU, training a detector for your own application, and acting on the results within a realistic power budget. Attendees leave with working scripts and a clear path from prototype to a deployed edge vision product.
