Arduino & Electronics interfacing using C++ part 2

Description

Students continue their embedded systems journey by exploring how modern electronic systems communicate, measure motion, determine position, and control movement accurately.

They learn wired and wireless communication concepts and work with technologies such as Bluetooth, NRF wireless communication, and Wi-Fi to exchange data between controllers and systems.

Students are introduced to navigation and motion sensing using IMU and GPS modules, allowing their systems to understand orientation, movement, and geographical position.

They also explore Wheel Encoders to measure motor movement and RPM and discover the difference between Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Control.

Using feedback from encoders, students are introduced to PID Control, learning how a system can continuously measure its error and automatically adjust its output to achieve more accurate and stable motion.

Stepper Motors and their drivers are also introduced, preparing students for precise motion-control applications used later in robotics and manufacturing machines.
