We present the design and use of McGumps laboratory kit for teaching microprocessor and embedded systems. The kit facilitates efficient learning of relevant hardware and software design techniques that will not get outdated soon. We describe the typical use of this kit in our courses.
In this paper, we describe a wireless system infrastructure made for data collection and sharing during educational and business conferences. The system is designed to be flexible and rapidly reprogrammable, while keeping low-power and low-cost as the primary design objectives. The system comprises of three distinct components -embedded nodes with user interface, network coordination and routing unit, as well as the WWW and database subsystem. The hardware and the software were designed to be modular and expandable. Our Wireless Conference Manager -WCM has already been deployed at two high-profile IEEE 1 international conferences. Testing and verification results collected at these events demonstrate its suitability as well as expendability for new requirements and applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
