Skills

Build a Robot That Senses and Reacts

Stage 2: wire sensors and motors (simulators count).

Take this Challenge →

3 milestones

  1. 1Read one sensor and log it
  2. 2Make it move under control
  3. 3Tune it and explain the build
Skills

Embedded Firmware Implementation

Stage 2: firmware on a board or a free simulator such as Wokwi.

Take this Challenge →

3 milestones

  1. 1Set up the embedded development environment and implement a hardware abstraction layer
  2. 2Implement and test a complete firmware application using the HAL
  3. 3Produce a firmware design document and conduct a code review
SkillsOptional

Embedded Systems Design

Go deeper (optional): a full embedded system design.

Take this Challenge →

3 milestones

  1. 1Define the embedded system requirements and produce a hardware block diagram
  2. 2Implement and verify the embedded system on hardware or simulator
  3. 3Produce an embedded systems design report and present for technical review
