We will provide to each group of the 10 groups a box-set containing one Arduino Leonardo microcontroller and additional components required for the experiments. two members per group. Lab reports submitted individualy.

I attach the LIST of COMPONENTS we typically purchase for implementing the experiments. Notice it includes links to the corresponding vendors. (The list is provided because some students would prefer to purchase some of these components for their own use now and in the future. )

Text

No specific textbook is required
You may consult the textbook you used in PH-314.

Individual Microcontroller Project 20 %

You can select your own microcontrolled-based project. You will have 10 minutes to present it in front of your classmates the final week of classes.

An accompanied project report is due on the week of final exams.

Here are some suggested projects

Arduino TFT LCD Touch Screen Tutorial
How to get an image on a TFT screen with Arduino
Here is the microcontroller Arduino Mega 2560 that can be used for this project (54 digital I/O pins, 16 analog inputs.) We will provide the Mega 2560 and the TFT LCD.
(We have available two Arduino Mega 2560)

Access and Inclusion for Students with Disabilities PSU values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning environment that is equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming. If any aspects of instruction or course design result in barriers to your inclusion or learning, please notify me. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) provides reasonable accommodations for students who encounter barriers in the learning environment. If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Center to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations. The DRC is located in 116 Smith Memorial Student Union, 503-725-4150, drc@pdx.edu, https://www.pdx.edu/drc. am

Portland State is committed to providing an environment free of all forms of prohibited discrimination and sexual harassment (sexual assault, domestic and dating violence, and gender or sex-based harassment and stalking). If you have experienced any form of gender or sex-based discrimination or sexual harassment, know that help and support are available. PSU has staff members trained to support survivors in navigating campus life, accessing health and counseling services, providing academic and on-housing accommodations, helping with legal protective orders, and more. Information about PSU’s support services on campus, including confidential services and reporting options, can be found on PSU’s Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response website at: https://www.pdx.edu/sexual-assault/get-help or you may call a confidential IPV Advocate at 503-725-5672. You may report any incident of discrimination or discriminatory harassment, including sexual harassment, to either the Office of Equity and Compliance or the Office of the Dean of Student Life.

Please be aware that all PSU faculty members and instructors are required to report information of an incident that may constitute prohibited discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexual violence. This means that if you tell me about a situation of sexual harassment or sexual violence that may have violated university policy or student code of conduct, I have to share the information with my supervisor, the University’s Title IX Coordinator or the Office of the Dean of Student Life. For more information about Title IX please complete the required student module Creating a Safe Campus in your D2L.
