Modern automotive control systems have blurred the lines between microcontrollers (MC), electronics devices, and network systems. Highly complex software (S/W), hardware (H/W), and interface systems in modern automotive architectures are compelling automotive technicians and instructors to cultivate new knowledge and skills to more fully understand the interactions of these systems.
The course elements will cover topics that are relevant to both automotive technicians and automotive instructors:
For Technicians:
For Educators:
This course contains the following topics:
Monday, June 25
Tuesday, June 26
Wednesday & Thursday, June 27-28
Industry Technology Update
Students will be responsible to bring their own laptop computer to the course (with at least one operating USB port) for the purposes of operating the MC and permit software applications to be installed for developing S/W code. The students may elect to bring their own oscilloscope, DVOM, and miscellaneous small hand tools to work with the electronic devices and circuits. This course is designed for individuals with minimal or no experience in S/W development or coding, and minimal to average experience with analog & digital electronics circuits and devices.
The course elements will cover topics that are relevant to both automotive technicians and automotive instructors:
For Technicians:
- The lecture and significant hands-on project content in this course, using the popular Arduino MC, will introduce technicians to MC and electronics to build new H/W and S/W knowledge that can be used directly with automotive systems
- Microcontroller based electronics projects will be built in the class within a fun and interactive environment
- This course will teach technicians how they can inexpensively and quickly create their own testing and diagnostic tools.
- Provide technicians sufficient fundamental knowledge and skills that would permit them to develop their own microcontroller based applications and hardware interface tools that can be used for analyzing and diagnosing most automotive systems
- As part of the course, each Technician will receive a MC, software, and various electronic components that, they can take with them when the course has been completed
- Learn how external MC systems can be built to be used with a scan tool to manipulate or change systems operation for the purposes of circuit analysis and diagnostics
For Educators:
- The lecture and significant hands-on project content in this course using the popular Arduino MC will introduce participants with minimal or no experience in MC and electronics with knowledge and skills.
- Microcontroller based classroom simulators, demonstrators, and develop student projects in a fun environment. Simulator and demonstrator systems are significant investments for the modern automotive classroom and this course will teach participants how to inexpensively create their own simulator and demonstration systems.
- Information essential for individuals that want to architect vehicle “bugs” for courses focusing on diagnostics.
- Provide participants enough fundamental knowledge and skills that would permit them to develop microcontroller based applications and hardware interface tools for most automotive systems.
This course contains the following topics:
Monday, June 25
- Vehicle Control and Electronic Systems Architectures
- H/W and S/W Interactions in Control Systems
- Analog and Digital Component Operation: High level operation, usage, and integration with a MC
- Analog and Digital Signal Conditioning: Its purpose in connecting the MC to the outside world or motors, relays, sensors and more: Why and What is needed; How to build some simple Signal Conditioning circuits to interface with the MC
Tuesday, June 26
- Preparing to Develop a Project Software Solution: What does it need to do, When does it need to do it, and How does it need to be done
- Pseudo-Code: How to write Pseudo-Code to ensure that all aspects of the software solution purpose are comprehended and documented in a “readable” format before the first line of software code is coded
- How to write high level operating statements for S/W functionality
- The Microcontroller: Software Languages, Compilers, and the MC
- MC Inputs-Outputs (I/O): MC Analog and Digital I/O
Wednesday & Thursday, June 27-28
- Text Based Coding vs. Graphical Software Coding: Coding your first S/W program using Text and Graphical based programs
- Practicing coding, electronic circuit, and signal conditioning circuit building using course projects
- Writing & Coding Software and Building Electronics Projects: Use a MC and Electronic components to build projects that have automotive systems application
- Writing large programs vs. Modular Software Code for re-usability and ease of Code modification
- Ideas for Building Projects for the Automotive Classroom or on the job
