This page is no longer in use for ECE4760!
Students should refer to the >>new page << (coming soon).
The material is for reference only!
The new page uses DIFFERENT hardware and software!
===============================================================
ECE 4760 deals with microcontrollers as components
in electronic design and embedded control. The course is taught
by Hunter Adams, who
is a staff member in
Electrical and Computer Engineering. The course is currently taught using PIC32MX processors.
