Textbook

Laboratory notes and manual for STM32 ARM CORTEX-M microcontroller kit

Catalog Description

This lab component provides sufficient detailed knowledge and hands-on experience of a microcontroller so that students can program a microcontroller and demonstrate its function in a real-time application. It is accomplished by a sequence of assigned labs, followed by a final project of the student\'s choice, emphasizing creativity and uniqueness.

Co-requisite
