In this video, we will examine a commercial of the shelf (COTS) H-Bridge IC. Example code for the FRDM-TFC will also be examined.

Introduction to basic motor DC motor control. The concept of an H-Bridge will be shown as well as some useful ways to control the motor. View Video Link : 1467

Review the servo example code provided in the FRDM-TFC. TPM peripheral initialization and a simple driver interface will be shown. View Video Link : 1464

A examination of RC servos and their interface. Pulse width modulation will be reviews and a example configuration will be shown. View Video Link : 1465

How to interrupt the core from a a peripheral outside of the core - TPM overflow

How to interrupt the core from a core peripheral.... The Systick Timer.

A look at interrupts in a microcontroller from a generic point of view. This will be used to put the other videos relating to interrupts of the ARM core in context.

Using Header(.h) files provided by Freescale inside CodeWarrior - Blinking an LED

Continue showing how to start a project from scratch.  In this second part,  we will see how to import new files into a CodeWarrior project to build a project. View Video Link : 1458

How to create a basic project from scratch in Codewarrior for the the Freedom board. View Video Link : 1459

Examines the core used in the MKL25Z128VLK4 device that is mounted on the FRDM-KL25Z board. The audience will be guided through the process of acquiring documentation for both the device and the core. A brief overview of the ARM cortex series will be presentated and how it relates to the embedded systems landscape.

Continuing with the "warp drive controller example", this video explains low level hardware interfacing via bit manipulation. An example programming sequence for the warp drive will be shown. View Video Link : 1455

Using a "warp drive controller" as a fun example, this video will introduce the audience to basic hardware interfacing concepts, device register documentation and how one interacts with hardware. View Video Link : 1456

Illustrates some basic concepts with respect to microcontroller design tools. A generic design flow will be introduced to orient the audience to the most common steps in the software development process.

Continue to explain some common components seen in a microcontroller. Criteria for how a microcontroller is selected will be introduced. View Video Link : 1440

Examine some basic microcontroller concepts, how they are used and some generic I/O paths. The intent is to give the audience a broad picture of microcontrollers and how they are used.

In this two part series we take a deeper look at the inner workings of a microcontroller. This video will examine a "generic" microcontroller. Components that are common to most microcontrollers will be examine.   View Video Link : 1453

Freescale Cup shield introduction for use with the FRDM-KL25Z or similar development board. Steps through the schematic of the FRDM-TFC shield and explain it's interfaces, logic, and use.

The Fraunhofer Institute of Integrated Circuits in Erlangen (Germany) is the inventor (with Thomson) of the MP3 files most of use today in our smartphone and media players. They are over 20,000 researchers strong and a force in the R&D community in Germany and around the world. The institute will welcome and host the Freescale Cup 2014 EMEA finals on 29-30 April 2014. It is a great chance for the student teams that will be at the event to get a glimpse of engineering R&D at its best and make contact with talented Fraunhofer Institute engineers shaping the world of tomorrow.
