Lecture 5 Basic Microprocessors

This document discusses an introduction to mechatronics lecture. It covers the following key points: 1. The reading assignment is chapters 1-4 of a book on basic microprocessors and there will be questions based on the reading. 2. Mechatronics is taught in mechanical engineering because today's products increasingly incorporate electronics and microcontrollers, and mechatronics emphasizes manufacturing and automation. 3. Microcontrollers are at the core of mechatronics systems and are widely used in applications like engine control modules in automobiles, industrial automation, smart homes, data acquisition, and consumer electronics.

2. Why do we teach microprocessor applications (or Mechatronics) in ME? It used to be taught only in EE. - Few ME schools/departments were teaching it in early 80's: GIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Penn State, University of SC, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, British Columbia and etc. - Reasons: Emphasis in manufacturing and automation - Today's consumer products (examples: cameras, automobiles, camcorders, sewing machines, TVs, cell phones) incorporate electronics and micro-controllers

APPLICATION OF MICROCONTROLLERS in Mechatronics Systems/Devices


Micro-controller is at core of our mechatronics courses as discussed earlier. Therefore, it makes sense to discuss its various applications in mechatronics systems or mechatronics devices.
