CALENDAR
The C Language and PIC Microcontrollers micro-credential aims to provide trainees with basic procedural programming concepts in a medium-level language (C Language) and basic concepts for implementing electronic solutions using the PIC12F675 and PIC16F84A microcontrollers. The aim is for trainees to acquire the essential concepts for algorithmically solving problems related to data acquisition and processing, flow conditions and control, structured and applied programming for breadboard PIC microcontrollers and discrete DIP hardware. The aim is to explore the capabilities of the PIC12F675 and PIC16F84A by analysing the architecture, programming in C Language at register level, PICkit interface and programming/debugging and MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment for digital and analogue data acquisition and processing, ICSP communications, control of external devices and interrupt handling.
The course diploma is a microcredential at level 5 of the European Qualifications Framework, with 2 ECTS (41 contact hours + 13 hours of autonomous work) and a certificate is awarded on passing the assessment activity.
Attendance regime
The course will take place in person during the post-work period, with theoretical and practical activities. It is planned to take place in 13 sessions of 3 hours and 2 hours for assessment (written test).
Tuition, fees and emoluments:180€
