Advanced Embedded Systems with Arduino

Course Overview

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This comprehensive course dives deep into advanced embedded systems using the Arduino platform. By the end of the course, you will gain hands-on experience with a variety of sensors, actuators, and communication protocols. You’ll explore interfacing hardware components like LEDs, motors, keypads, sensors, and SD cards, gaining practical skills that can be applied to real-world projects. The course will help you transition from theoretical knowledge to implementation, empowering you to design and build complex embedded systems. Throughout the course, you will be introduced to core concepts such as analog and digital I/O, serial communication, PWM (pulse width modulation), and interfacing components like LCD screens and ultrasonic distance sensors. You’ll also work with various input/output devices like buzzers, switches, and motors, learning how to write efficient code to control these peripherals. Moreover, hands-on projects will help you solidify your knowledge and push the boundaries of your creativity. This course is ideal for students and professionals with a basic understanding of embedded systems who are looking to expand their knowledge and skills. Whether you want to build practical applications or dive deeper into the world of embedded systems, this course offers a rich learning experience. A basic understanding of electronics and programming (particularly in C) will be beneficial. It’s designed for learners at an intermediate level and above.
