Lesson 1
Digital Output Devices
This lesson explores the wide range of digital output devices and play technologies, each designed for particular applications, from basic bar LEDs to dynamic, full-colour displays.
Embedded Systems Essentials: Digital Output Devices and Analog Signals
Course
This course covers the essentials of digital output devices. Different types of digital displays are examined before taking a closer look at seven-segment displays. Next up are analog signals, followed by an introduction to Ohm's Law, which will help you understand the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.

Lesson 2
Seven-Segment Displays
Learn about the seven-segment displays' evolution and applications, covering common anode/cathode configurations and scanning techniques.
Lesson 3
Analog Signals
In this lesson, you will learn analog signals in embedded systems, their conversion to digital via ADCs, the maths behind it and put that into practice through a sensor exercise.
Lesson 4
Introduction to Ohm’s Law
The Ohm's Law is a fundamental subject in electronics. To lay the foundation, this lesson covers the concepts of voltage, current and resistance before explaining their relationship.
