Course Objectives The aim of this course is to teach students the basic knowledge necessary to develop software that communicates with hardware. In addition, it is aimed to communicate computers with microcontrollers, display and record sensor data on computers, control actuators and peripherals via computers, and develop mechatronic projects that are monitored and controlled via computer interface.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Develop object-oriented programs with C# programming language.
  • Set up communication between computers and microcontrollers.
  • Execute data input/output operations over computer interfaces.
  • Demonstrate sensor data over computer interfaces.
  • Use actuators over computer interfaces.
Course Description This course teaches students the basic concepts of object-oriented programming. The course also covers the communication of computers with microcontrollers, the development of computer interfaces, the display of sensor data on the computer interface and the control of actuators through computer interfaces.
