Employers are constantly looking for individuals with PC interfacing skills. They will be happy to meet you when they see that your PC interfacing skills include working with USB Ports. Data acquisition engineers and technicians design or maintain systems that have data moving in and out of a PC. Knowing how to move such data via the USB port can give you a decisive edge over candidates seeking positions in Data Acquisition applications.
Even if you are not looking for a job, knowing how to work with USB ports will certainly help you with any project requiring a smart way of moving data in and out of your PC.
In this courseware, you will learn to use a simple firmware solution to incorporate complete USB capability into an AVR MCU (like the ATmega16 chip). USB Port interfacing is not trivial. Using only 2 wires (D+ and D-) to send both data and command packets, back and forth, between a USB Host and a USB Device, obviously results in some complex interaction between software modules running at each end of the USB link. But thanks to the precisely focused video presentations included with this courseware, you do not need to spend weeks to understand the relationship between the various software blocks interacting together to provide efficient and reliable data flow between a USB Host (PC) and a USB Device (ATmega16 MCU).
The courseware is comprised of three Labs. In Lab #1 you learn how to interface one of the data ports on the ATmega16 to the USB Port and make it function as an 8-bit Input Port that READS data from the outside world. Conversely, you can have the reverse situation where you have an Output port that WRITES data to the outside world. This reverse case is taken care of in Lab #2. Finally, in Lab #3 you combine the individual Input or output ports completed in earlier labs to provide a complete USB-based I/O solution that lets you both WRITE and READ to and from the outside world.
A specially designed C# Windows Application is included that you may easily modify or customize to work with any specific data acquisition scenario. In this C# GUI application you will see how easy it is to interact with Windows Drivers to send and receive data over the USB cable. The set of videos accompanying this courseware also includes a video demonstration that walks you through each step of AVR Studio to compile and link all the C modules to produce the final HEX file, that will eventually be used to program the AVR MCU chip. A video is also included that guides you through the process of programming the MCU chip.
So, there is a great deal to learn in this courseware. Check it out today. Learn new skills. Master them. And, declare them proudly on your resume.
