Dec 13		Final Exam: Example of stuff covered: · Digital Hardware: Convert a signal to 0V / 5V. Turn on / off an LED, motor, heater. Use transistors as a buffer, H-bridge for 2 directions. Use PWM to approximate an analog output with a binary output. · Analog Hardware: Convert a sensor to 0..5V. Calibrate to convert the raw A/D reading to a meaningful number (degrees, volts, ohms). · Software: Write a C program to turn on / off devices as per a flow chart. Write a C program to wait one second. · Interrupts: Write a program to measure time to 1ms. Measure time to 200ns. Get multiple interrupts to work at the same time (such as generate a 100Hz, 120Hz, 130Hz square wave). · Filters: Write a C program to implement a filter, such as 10/(s+10).
