Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to program single-board computers (preferably Arduino Uno / Raspberry Pi) thanks to a hands-on project in the Telecommunications Electronics Lab. They will be familiar with the basic techniques for program development and the corresponding programming tools.
  
They will have mastered the programming terms required in order to use the functions of a microcontroller, e.g. to measure analog quantities or control a stepper motor with an H-bridge. They will be able to distinguish different serial communication protocols (I2C, SPI) and implement a serial communication between an Arduino microprocessor and a Raspberry PI single-board computer.
 
Students will be able to program a graphical user interface for control tasks using event-driven programming (Phyton/TkInter).
 
The participants will present the knowledge acquired in their project and in doing so, train their presentation skills.
