Controllers for Dummies

Welcome to this page: Its about controllers and dummies! Can dummies controll devices like controllers? NO! So what are u here for? To controll controller and NOT being a dummy. So lets get to bussiness. The brief description of course are as below:

The course comprises tutorials on different important concepts involved in robotics with regards to the NERC competition. The controller emphasized in the course is 8051; the programming language followed is C. It is assumed that the readers have at least studied the basic electric circuits and basic programming courses. The modules of this course are as follows:

 

The course comprises tutorials on different important concepts involved in robotics with regards to the NERC competition. The controller emphasized in the course is 8051; the programming language followed is C. It is assumed that the readers have at least studied the basic electric circuits and basic programming courses. The modules of this course are as follows:

Electric Circuits Review – review the basic circuit elements.

Digital Logic Review – touches upon the basic yet crucial concepts of DLD that are a pre-requisite for hardware and controllers

Electronics Review – briefly goes through the BJT theory and emphasis is on the use of transistor as switch.

Memory and architecture – builds upon the previous concepts and jumps on the memory and system architecture review.

Introduction to 8051 MCU – a brief introduction to controllers, familiarize the reader with 8051 microcontroller.

SFRs – introduces the 8051 programming and describes the special function registers of 8051 mcu.

Timers – explains the working and applications of timers in 8051 mcu.

Interrupts – explains the theory and practice of interrupts with some solid examples.

PWM – the classical way of control used in NERC, Pulse width modulation is explained along with ‘how to generate pwm’

Sensors – sensors are the crucial part of robot as far as line tracking as is concerned. So they have been explained in detail.

H-bridge – This is what makes your motors running in both directions. A comprehensive tutorial is all u want!

 A tutorial for lab report writing is also included with the package. So don’t miss it!
