Description
Intelligent seonsors are revolutionizing the world of system design in everything from sports cars to assembly lines. These new sensors
have abilities that leave their predecessors in the dust! They not only measure parameters efficiently and precisely, but they also have
the ability to enhance and interupt those measurements, thereby transformng raw data into truly useful information.
Unlike many embedded
systems books that confine themselves strictly to firmware and software, this book also delves into the supporting electronic hardware,
providing the reader with a complete understanding of the issues involved when interfacing to specific types of sensor and offering insight
into the real-world problems designers will face. Meaningful software examples are implemented in both C and assembly language, and the
source code is included on the accompanying CD. The examples provide a complete, easily extensible code framework for sensor-based applications
as well as basic support routines that are often ignored or treated superficially. The goal throughout is to make readers truly productive
as quickly as possible while providing the thorough understanding necessary to design robust systems.
Readers will gain in-depth, real-world
design information that will help them be more productive and get up to speed on sensor design skills more quickly. The book provides
designers and students a leg up in a relatively new design area, imparting knowledge about a new microcontroller that offers some of
the functionality of a DSP chip.
Audience
Embedded systems engineers and programmers working on
sensor design and interface in a number of markets, including automotive, aerospace,
industrial controls, construction; electrical and software engineering students, electronics technicians working in embedded systems,
inhouse training departments of electronics
manufacturers
