Course content

Electrical circuits and components. Analog signal processing using operational amplifiers. Digital circuits, digital numbers, Boolean algebra. Sampling and quantization. Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion. Sensors and actuators. Programming of microcontrollers, amongst other using "C", interrupts, digital I/O and interfacing for typical peripherals. Data aquisition with PC and high-level tools. Basic control-theory.

Learning outcome

The course shall give knowledge about:

  • Simple electrical circuits and electrical components.
  • Analog signal processing with operational amplifiers.
  • Basic digital technology and digital signals.
  • Architecture, programming and interfaces for microcontrollers.
  • High-level tools for data aquisition using a PC.
  • Simple feed-back controllers such as PID.

The course shall develop skills in:

  • Solve for current and voltage in simple electical circuits.
  • Design simple circuits for operational amplifiers.
  • Progamming of microcontrollers.
  • Data aquisition using a PC.
  • Simple feed-back control.

The course shall give general competence in:

  • Development of mechatronic systems.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercises and laboratory tasks, both individual and group tasks.

Compulsory assignments

  • Assignments and lab

Further on evaluation

80% of assignments must be accepted in order to be given the right to take the exam.

Mandatory work from the previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there haven't been any significant changes later. By a re-take of an examination all assessments during the course, that counts in the final grade, have to be re-taken.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
