Digital electronics 2

The repository contains AVR lab exercises for bachelor course Digital Electronics 2 at Brno University of Technology, Czechia. Arduino Uno board and some shields are used as the main programming platform.

Exercises

1. Git version-control system, AVR tools
2. Control of GPIO pins
3. Timers
4. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
5. Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
6. Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART)
7. Inter-Integrated Circuits (I2C)

List of examples

• Basic C template, blink a LED
• Project documentation with Doxygen
• Autonomous slot car
