Image Plotter

Introduction Our ECE 4760 final project was an image plotting system with high-level processing done in a MATLAB script we wrote and the low-level control software done on the PIC32MX250F128B microprocessor. Our MATLAB program takes images and extracts endpoints of line segments and sends the coordinates over to the PIC32 via UART serial communication. The […]

Diversified Projects in Microcontroller Class Enhances Undergraduates’ Learning and Research

Abstract Understanding the use of microcontrollers is fundamental in both Electrical and ComputerEngineering undergraduate programs. Our school replaced our microprocessor class withmicrocontroller class in year 2010 due to the fast growing popularity of microcontrollers. In thefirst two years of offering this class, a more traditional “lectures plus weekly Lab” model wasused. Students received background knowledge
