Discrete elements and programming of microcontrollers

Discrete Elements and Programming of Microcontrollers" is a comprehensive course focusing on the fundamentals of working with sensors and actuators, controlled by microprocessors such as the ARDUINO platform. Participants will learn key concepts in interfacing sensors with microcontrollers, understanding discrete elements, and programming techniques to efficiently control various devices. Through hands-on projects and programming exercises, students will gain practical skills in designing and implementing systems that integrate sensors and actuators, empowering them to create interactive and responsive electronic applications. The course is designed following the curriculum of the "Electromechanical Engineering" speciality at Odesa Polytechnic University.

The following course/module was developed at the Odessa Polytechnic University (Ukraine, Odesa).
