Training objectives
- ------------------------------------------------------------
Modulo: 20633 - LABORATORIO DI ELETTRONICA
------------------------------------------------------------
To provide students with the basic knowledge of digital and analog electronics, operation of microcontrollers, transducers and provide the tools for the design of measurement and data acquisition systems.
Students will acquire the skills to understand and design all the parts that make up an experimental test setup, starting from the measurement of physical quantities with transducers and / or detectors of specific physical events to arrive at the acquisition of data on a PC.
Students will acquire basic knowledge on the physical principle of operation of simple transducers for measuring a physical quantity in an analog electrical signal.
Students will be able to design simple analog circuits for analog signal processing, for example noise cancellation, signal amplification, electrical coupling with other devices.
Students will know how to digitize an analog signal and will therefore be able to design simple digital circuits for processing the digital signal. In this phase they will be able to manage signal sorters, counters and shift registers.
In the context of microcontroller programming and with knowledge of digital electronics, they will learn to design firmware for digital signal processing with microcontrollers instead of digital circuits.
As part of the data acquisition topic, students will be able to define and use standard communication protocols (serial, udp etc etc) in order to transfer information from microcontrollers, or commercial electronic devices, to the PC for analysis and data storage.
