Plug, Play, Program: Modular Microcontroller Learning

A flexible solution for study of microcontrollers designed for everyone.

Digital Techniques in Aviation

SKU# BL2976

BL2976 75-1 WEB 1

This package is designed for students working towards EASA part 66 – module 5: Digital Techniques.

The solution consists of a set of microcontroller based training hardware based on our E-blocks system including a PICmicro programmer board, general purpose input output board, motors training board and a CAN bus communications interface. Students firstly use our Flowcode software to develop simple programs, compile and send them to the microcontroller hardware. Then students look at pre-written programs to understand how more complex systems are developed.

Lastly students use prewritten programs to interface the hardware to our Electronic Flight Information System trainer using CAN bus to understand how larger more complex aircraft systems are developed.  By following this process students learn how digital microcontroller and microprocessor based systems and peripherals function in a modern, relevant and motivating environment.

An 80 page manual is included. Requires Flowcode software. This is a student centred course that will take around 10 hours to complete.
