*** IMPORTANT --- COURSE REQUIREMENTS BELOW ***
LAB PARTS REQUIREMENTS
There is a Lab component for this online course (17.383 - Microprocessors A) that requires the
purchase, if you don't already have on hand, of the items listed in attachment 1. Quantities for a few
of the items have been increased to reflect spares to have on-hand in case of a component failure
during the conduct of your labs. In addition, there are a number of optional items listed in
attachment 1 that you may consider purchasing as well. Additional components will most likely be
required for the construction of your project, which you will also be responsible for procuring. Project
details will be provided during the semester.
There are numerous vendors from which the parts may be purchased, I included some vendors with
their local stock numbers. You are free to procure the parts from any distributor (local, internet, mail
order, etc.).
SOFTWARE and HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
A computer (laptop, desktop, netbook) with a USB port is required for this course.
It is highly recommended that you have a high quality USB "Web Cam" and microphone for your
computer that will interface with "Blackboard". The web cam will be utilized during online
troubleshooting sessions as we do not have the advantage of weekly lab sessions. A USB web cam can
be used to provide me and your fellow classmates the ability to look at your circuit and aid you in your
troubleshooting. Web cams built into your computers and laptops do not provide the flexibility of
being moved around your table/workbench.
The web cam and microphone will also be used to "record" the demonstration portion of your project.
Microphones/headsets are essential for our weekly "chat/lab Q&A sessions/office hours".
A link to required "free" software which will enable you to program your microprocessor
(microcontroller) device will be provided during your first lab session (first week of class).
Lab report templates will be provided in Word 2007 format; therefore, software to read/write those
templates is a necessity.
If you have any questions regarding parts, web cams, software, or other course related questions,
please contact me at dohn_bowden@uml.edu.
Thank you,
Dohn Bowden
