Expert talk on Microcontroller Development Boards and their Applications

In order to bridge the gap between the academia and industry, make the students aware about modern electronic tools and to encourage students to innovate, the ETC Department, in association with DBEATS organized an expert talk for the third year ETC students on 30^th January 2018.

Mr. Raja ram Parsekar, Owner, Elementronix delivered the seminar in which, he focused on various microcontroller development boards available for different applications. The students were introduced to microcontroller based boards such as Arduino (UNO, NANO, and MEGA), STM32, ESP 12, ESP 32 etc. as well as single board computers such as Raspberry Pi (Model 3, Pi 0), Beagle board, Intel Galileo etc. The students also had the opportunity to physically see some of these boards.

The speaker gave valuable insights on selection of boards for various applications and design considerations and also briefed the students on how Embedded C can be used to bypass the need for development boards so as to efficiently exploit the potential of microcontrollers. Mr. Parsekar gave tips on various fields of electronics in which the students could do their final year projects. Certain students also put forth their ideas and discussed with the speaker, the practicality and feasibility of these ideas. With final year projects around the corner, the TE ETC students found this seminar very valuable.
