Autonomous experimental systems
Course
The wide availability of advanced microcomputers creates new opportunities for the development of autonomous experimental systems with application in the various fields of science. The aim of the course is to develop skills in the creation and use of such autonomous systems for students of the Bachelor of Physics and other programs. The tasks are to learn the basic principles of the operation of micro-computers, their interaction with various kinds of sensors and peripheral equipment, and finally to design autonomous experimental systems. Since the course audience must be able to program microcomputers, the basic elements of C/C++ programming language are included in this course. The classes take place in classrooms with specially equipped computers using Arduino microcomputers and peripheral equipment kits. The study course is provided in Latvian.
