Title
Using surface-mount components in an embedded systems lab.
Abstract
Embedded systems classes and labs can often benefit from having students design their own systems including printed circuit boards (PCBs). These boards can be the basis of either complete small microcontroller systems or add-on boards to existing platforms. However, modern circuit components are very often available only in tiny surface-mount technology (SMT) packages intended for automatic assembly and reflow soldering. This paper describes how we enhanced an embedded systems lab in a cost-effective way to enable students to develop, assemble, and solder custom PCBs that contain SMT components. This allows an enriched hands-on experience, and an expansion of the scope and complexity of the student projects.
