Embedded controllers are everywhere, although most are not obvious.
Even some pianos have embedded controllers to record and replay
performances. Modern road signs, water meters, gas meters and
other public utility equipment have embedded controllers.
The brain of a robot is also an embedded controller! A robot has
input devices (acting as its eyes and sensors) and output devices (to
control motion and indicators).
This is an Electronics Technology
course that can be project-based so that the outcome is a
small robot that runs some canned software.
