Kommentare/ Inhalte: Requirements: Formal: none Recommended: basic programming skills, basic electrophysics Contents: Lectures will cover conceptual and practical aspects of electronic circuits, communication between modules, the integration and programming of microcontrollers in measurement devices, and basic measurement strategies. Building on the knowledge the students gained during their practicals in their studies, the course deepens their understanding of working with a broad spectrum of scientific instruments used in ocean science. Students will build their own temperature logger, based on an Arduino microcontroller. This will comprise the design of the logger and the electronic circuit as well as assembling and programming of the microcontroller. Finally, they will deploy their logger in jointly designed scientific experiments. We will do simulations and programming exercises on the computer. Students can work in pairs. But bringing their own laptop is recommended.
Lernziel: Students will have understood fundamental principles of data acquisition electronics and interface technology. They will have learned how to assemble their own scientific measurement instrument based on a microcontroller platform, how to program it with respect to fundamental measurement strategies and gained experience with common communication protocols. They will have collected hands-on experience in comprehending, designing, and troubleshooting electric circuits and interfaces. The overarching aim of the course is to improve the student’s ability and confidence in working with scientific instruments.
Literatur: To be announced in course.
Zusätzliche Hinweise zu Prüfungen: Written report: technical documentation for the assembled datalogger (further details will be given in the course)
