Week 09 - Input Devices#
Week 9 focused on input devices, learning to interface sensors with microcontrollers and read data from the physical world.
The aim was to understand different sensor types, signal conditioning, and data acquisition.
This week explored how embedded systems sense and respond to their environment.
Group Assignment#
- Probe an input device’s analog levels and digital signals
Individual Assignment#
- Measure something: Add a sensor to a microcontroller board that you have designed and read it
Extra Credit Goals
- Try multiple sensor types
- Implement signal processing or filtering
What I Learned#
Software Used#
- Arduino IDE or other development environment
- Oscilloscope for signal analysis
- Serial monitor for data visualization
- Browser + Git for documentation
