Here is a list of the courses we are currently offering or developing:

"IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee Hands-On - Get the Buzz!"

Join us for a two - day hands-on tutorial on the hottest new wireless standard, IEEE 802.15.4, the basis for the ZigBee wireless networking standard. ZigBee and 802.15.4 promise low power consumption for low-bandwidth applications – in some cases exceeding battery shelf life! Presented from the viewpoint of a consulting embedded systems engineer, this tutorial will introduce you to the theory and networking structure of 802.15.4 and ZigBee as well as the practical integration of this network into embedded systems. A full day of lecture and demonstrations combined with a full day of hands-on coding.

"The USB Continuum: Hands-On " - USB Mastering for Embedded Systems

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a great interconnect standard for computer peripherals, but designing embedded systems to work with existing USB interfaces can be a major challenge. When the project calls for an embedded system to act as bus master and interface with off-the-shelf peripherals, it can become a nightmare. In this two-day workshop, we will cover the basics of the USB 1.1 and 2.0 standards and show examples and specifications for interfacing embedded systems as both bus slave and bus master. You will generate your own code and test that code on your own hardware (included in the class!).
