Development of a new Technical Experiment for BSPR

Background

The pratical course BSPR (Betriebssystempraktikum Realzeitverarbeitung) could be improved by technical experiments that help to illustrate real-time systems. That course is based on a experiment board with an Atmel AVR ATmega32 Microcontroller that has 32 digital I/O-Pins, 8 analog ADC inputs and an output stage for two motors or one stepping motor.

Different ideas exist that can be realised optionally:

• Pendulum with a row of LEDs to create text
• 1-D or 2-D rocker to balace a ball
• levitating ball on an electromagnet
• output of vector-graphics on an oscilloscope
• programming of a two-wheeled roboter

Assingment

• Planning and construction of experiment
• Programming of demo application
• Development of a lesson for the practical course
• Document results

We offer

• Comfortable working-environment, as well as a good equipped Computer infrastructure
• Personal and engaged supervision

Profil of requirements

• Intermediate diploma of Electro- and Informationstechnics or (technical) computer science
• Alternatively the according prerequisites for a Bachelor's thesis
• Basic programming skills in C/C++
• Microcontroller experience recommended (in particular AVR)
• Technical skills (construction, soldering, etc.)
• Competence to work autonomous and creative
