AVR Laboratory Scenarios
The remote access lab does not provide direct access to the serial port or debugger. For this reason, understanding actuators (mostly displays and LEDs) is essential, because the only way to monitor execution is to observe the results remotely via the video stream.
Video streaming has limitations such as frame rate, resolution, and colour rendering. This impacts how you write the software, e.g., avoid rapid screen updates or subtle LED changes that may not be visible through the video stream.
Know the hardware
The following scenarios explain the use of hardware components and services that constitute the ITT AVR laboratory node. They introduce students to embedded systems by starting with simple actuators and sensors before moving on to more complex control tasks.
Next steps
Once you are familiar with these components, you can combine them into integrated applications (e.g., measuring temperature with a thermistor and displaying it on the LCD, or using an infrared sensor to trigger motor movement). These exercises form the foundation for more advanced IoT and automation projects.
