More details

Description
If you work in the Automation Industry, you will know that automation equipmentÂ is very expensive. And many a time, especiallyÂ for small applications, you simplyÂ cannot justify the useÂ of very expensive equipment.Â

This is where the Arduino comes in!Â

The Arduino development board allows you to create very simple, but very powerful, Modbus master or slave devices through the use of relatively simple "C" programming. With the Arduino, you have full custom control over the program design allowing you to create very lean and very efficient devices for very specific purposes.Â

Put simply, mastering Modbus onÂ the Arduino is going to take your skill level and valueÂ in the Automation Industry to a whole new level.Â

That is what this course is going to do. At the end of the course, you will know how to:

1. Choose the appropriateÂ Arduino hardware.

2. Interconnect Arduino hardware with other add-on hardware.

3. Write "C"Â applications to implement Modbus master and slave functionality.

4. Use software and hardware to test each application that you write.

All of the programs written in the courseÂ are freely downloadableÂ and give you a perfect starting point for further development. At the end of the course, you will have theÂ knowledge to create your own products, your own custom Modbus master and slave hardware.

Looking forward to seeing you on the inside!
Who this course is for:

I have been working in the fields of Software Development, Software Systems Integration and Process Automation since 1996. In 2003, I stepped out on my own and started working for myself providing software development and systems integration services to small and medium businesses. I am also associated with a great company called Mora Systems Limited that under the leadership of it's Managing Director has produced innovative and outstanding products and services in the fields of GIS and Cellular based SCADA. Teaching has always been a passion for me. I have taught at the tertiary level for many years on the subjects of programming, control systems as well as systems integration. In the last few years I found myself incorporating more and more videos into the curriculum with amazing results. When I heard of uDemy I just could not help but sign up. With teaching in a classroom, you can reach only so many students, but with uDemy you can reach the world! I plan to publish and promote as many courses as I possibly can on the uDemy platform.
