Embedded Systems- The Way Forward by usisky(m): 12:18pm On Jan 06, 2011 |
Do u want to find out what embedded systems are? or are u already familiar with it? As an embedded systems designer, i will be giving u all the necessary information to my best of knowledge regarding the subject of discussion. As a graduate of electrical/computer engineering, i have been designing electronic systems/projects for my mates during school days and still doing so on request. Embedded systems design is simply a fusion of many disciplines, e.g, hardware design(electronics), computer programming. i believe its a promising area to begin to look into. Embedded systems are the heart of virtually every system u can think of today.from the navigational system driving your airplane, to the microwave oven in your house.even the very mobile phones we use daily are classified as embedded systems. becoming an embedded systems designer opens door for u in a variety of disciplines, such as, robotics(mechatronics) , Avionics, Automobile and a lot more. i invite all curious minds to look into this promising area of technology. All that is required of u is, knowledge of electronics design, computer programming(assembly,high-level), and a knowledge of programming processors, microcontroller, DSPs and others. below is a glimpse of the projects i have built with my colleague over the years. if u need help on a project u intend to embark on , or u want one built for u, then feel free to consult me. u are welcome to share ur ideas too.thanks • Digital temperature logger.with logs saved on an SD card in stand alone mode or hosted by a PC • Digital pressure logger. with logs saved on an SD card in stand alone mode or hosted by a PC • Radio frequency identification(RFID) • Fingerprint scanning for access control • Precision programmable electronic fuses • Programmable AC/DC overvoltage/undervoltage monitoring • Intelligent Voltage stabilizer • Mains frequency monitoring • Phase angle/pwm controllers • LED solid state lighting(replacement for florescent and incandescent lamps) • Solar powered solid state lighting systems • Smart DC/AC conveters(inveters) using MOSFETS or IGBTs • DC-DC conveters (choppers) e.g for laptops • AC/DC and AC/AC converter systems • Automated lighting intensity control for bulbs used in utility conservation systems • Automated fan speed controller, based on ambient temperature level.
