This tutorial set introduced new industry standard microcontrollers
including the MSP430 and STM32. Along with the MCUs, the new IDEs
Energia and STM32Cube were used. This broadens our skill set and helps
to apply what we have learning about communication protocals to more
general projects.
MSP430 Tutorial 1
Task 1:
Serial Commuincation using MSP430
Task 2:
Task 3:
The VDD/2 is greater than the expected half due to the imperfections of
the
poteniometer taking a larger voltage share.
MSP430 Tutorial 2 Tasks
Tasks: LED on/off demonstration and voice dicated OLED Writing
STM32
Task 1: STM32 Blinky Demonstration
Task 2: Serial commuinicaiton using SMT32
Task 3: Serial send data mirroring.
Task 4: MPU6050 Acc data printed to serial monitor
Task 4 b: MPU6050 Acc Data printed to serial monitor now with units.
Discussion
Using the HC-05 module to controll a microcontroller remotly opened a
world of possability for applications. The core understanding of
microcontrollers and communication protocals made moving to another IDE
a matter of syntax and understanding the nuances. Overall this was a
fun tutorial series that solidified what we have been learning through
the semester with microcontrollers and commuincaiton protocals.
