CPE 427 - Computer Engineering Laboratory

Institution:

Western New England University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisite: EE 322, CPE 360. Corequisite: CPE 420. A laboratory emphasizing the integration of advanced techniques in the design and implementation of an embedded microcontroller. Topics include embedded systems design and development using an EPROM based, industry standard microcontroller, interfacing serial and parallel I/O, PLD design using VHDL, Analog to Digital conversion (ADC), Timers as well as interrupt structures. The course provides students the opportunity to design a control and data acquisition system for the Solar Vehicle interdisciplinary project. Students design, construct and test an Intel 8052 realtime system. The embedded computer is used to acquire performance data from the solar vehicle. Sensors are interfaced to the ADC and data are later uploaded to a workstation for analysis. Students learn about the challenges of system's integration by participating in a solar vehicle race with team members from electrical and mechanical engineering. One class hour, one three hour lab. 2 cr.
