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.
