The purpose of the lecture is to aquire the fundamental basics to be able to use microcontrollers or (max. credit card sized) single board computers.

Within the lecture we will use the Raspberry Pi Zero W.

By the use of several examples, step by step, the following topics will be covered:

• What is a computer?

• Fundamental parts of a computer

• Mikrocontroller (Arduino Uno, PyBoard, ESP8266 etc.) or single board computer (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black etc.)?

• Plattforms by comparison (Arduino, MicroPython, Raspbian, Debian)

• Which platform for which project?

• Introduction to the programming language Python 3.0

• Reading input devices & sensors

• Controlling LEDs, speakers, motors

• Connecting to networks

• In- and output of audio signals

• Connecting displays

To evaluate the learning progress and for the successful degree, the overall presence and the active participation and successful creation of the examples will be used.
