Class Objectives
/Class Outline In this class, lectures will be given in relations to the industry department
of high schools and "information and computer" of technology in junior high schools. Through practices of micro-controller(Raspberry Pi Pico) and C-language, students will have deep understanding of hardware necessary for measuring and controlling, and have practical capabilities.

Class Schedule Lesson 1: Course Guidance, Basics of C Language
Lesson 2: Operators in C Language
Lesson 3: Functions of C Language
Lesson 4: Programming in C Language (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 5: Digital Input/Output (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 6: State Transition Diagram (Simple Version) (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 7: State Transition Diagram (Practical Session) (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 8: Variable Resistor
Lesson 9: Analog-to-Digital Conversion (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 10: Real-Time Interrupts, PWM (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 11: Motor Driver
Lesson 12: Motor Driver and Micro-controller (Raspberry Pi Pico is used)
Lesson 13: Distance Measurement Sensor
Lesson 14: Motor Noise and Three-Terminal Voltage Regulator
Lesson 15: Summary

Students must submit reports on practices.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review Students will feel difficult in programming Raspberry Pi Pico without understanding hardware.
The instructor therefore recommends students reviewing contents of "Seminar on Teaching Materials for Hardware".

Lesson 1: Understand the overall outline and set up the C language environment.
Lesson 2: Understand the operators in C language.
Lesson 3: Understand functions in C language and the concept of variable scope.
Lesson 4: Get familiar with using the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Lesson 5: Deepen your understanding of digital input/output on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Lesson 6: Understand state transition diagrams.
Lesson 7: Deepen your understanding of state transition diagrams.
Lesson 8: Understand the mechanism and usage of variable resistors.
Lesson 9: Understand how to use ADC (Analog-to-Digital Conversion) on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Lesson 10: Understand the concept of real-time interrupts.
Lesson 11: Experience using motor drivers in practice.
Lesson 12: Understand how to use motor drivers from a micro-controller.
Lesson 13: Understand distance measurement sensors.
Lesson 14: Observe motor noise and understand the function of three-terminal voltage regulators.
Lesson 15: Review the entire course content.
