We are going to build remote-controlled quadcopters from scratch in 10 weeks.
The goals for the course are for you to learn how to design, assemble, and program a moderately complex electronic device. The device you will build is a small, remote-controlled quadcopter similar to this:
In particular, you'll learn and/or practice these skills/topics:
- Printed circuit board design
- Implementing a spec
- Leveraging reference designs
- Interpreting data sheets
- Selecting parts
- PCB Assembly
- Concepts
- Moderately advanced soldering
- Embedded Systems Programming
- Real-time
- Resource-constrained
- Basic Sensor fusion
- Basic Control Theory
