Course Description

This course takes a step-by-step practical approach on how to write drivers and libraries that will allow your Cortex-Microcontroller to talk to Keyboards and Liquid Crystal Displays. It goes on to provide optimization methods such as accessing the LCD with 4-bits rather than 8-bits and also  programming keyboards using the  matrix arrangement approach. 

We will start by differentiating between GPIO and SPIO, this will give students the understanding on how registers relates to IO ports then we shall write out the code to see how these registers actually work with inputs and outputs.

We shall look at how to write our own LCD Drivers and Libraries, we shall take a look at the pinout and how we interface with the microcontroller, take a look at how we control the shift registers inside the LCD, then we shall go on to code our own driver and library.The last section of the LCD chapter deals with writing data in 4-bits to reduce the number of IO pins used for LCD.

The final chapter of the course deals with interfacing to keyboards, I will introduce how keyboards also conserve the number of IO pins by using the matrix arrangement and then we shall go on to write our keyboard driver and library. In a nutshell, this are the key areas we shall be looking at in this course :

  • Keyboard driver and library coding
  • LCD driver and library coding
  • LCD 4-bits data transfer
  • Keyboard matrix arrangement

If you interested in having bare-metal level access to keyboards and LCDs  then this course is for you.

Very good and consise explanation! This is an excellent beginner-friendly course, and it goes right to the point!

By Gregory Reeves on 3/17/2020

The course is good and the instructor explains as he codes. I wish source code and written explanations were provided as downloadable resources. I know he has a site that you can go to and get additional information.

Great material however could presentation could benefit from a clearer voice it sounds like it is done in a whisper. Otherwise would be a good presentation.

Excellent course, thank you very much for share your knowledge with us.

I was looking for lcd programming information and pinout information for a standard lcd and this was very helpful and clear

By Bob Veale on 6/23/2018

I used another MSP430 device and used the TI CSS. Everything worked OK. The presentation was rather dry. A couple slides were out of order. A more accurate way to delay was promised but was not delivered. I would recommend the MSP430 course by Valparaiso University.

Israel Gbati delivers this course very well, easy to understand and really enjoyable learning. I have now recommended his courses to all my friends that have an interest in Robotics and Mechatronics

İnternet üzerinde Tiva launchpad hakkında oldukça az bilgi var. Bu videolar hem başarılı bir anlatıma sahip hem de bilgiye kolay ulaşım sağlıyor.

By Rosendo Gonzalez on 4/19/2018

His way of coming up with the algorithms (pseudo code) while he explains the concepts is very effective. I'm looking forward to taking more of his courses.

By Bogdan Cojocariu on 3/24/2018

the explanations are clear and once the code is implemented on the kit it runs strait away! information is presented logically and in a chronological order for practical implementation! Excellent!
