PHY 2700 - Computer Interfacing (3)


When Offered: Spring
This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of Analog and Digital electronics, as well as interfacing between computers and Arduino microcontrollers. We explore various electronic circuits and components, including resistors, capacitors, LEDs, transistors, temperature sensors, photoresistors, DC motors, integrated circuit (IC) chips, etc. Data collection and control programs are written in the Arduino environment. Lab work will also expose students to some instrumentation commonly used in industry and research. Lecture two hours, laboratory three hours.
NOTE: Students who have already completed PHY 4330  and/or PHY 4730  cannot receive credit for PHY 2700.
Prerequisite: PHY 1104  or PHY 1151 .
