TI Day @ Mac. • There are 3 streams: • The first one gives hands-on introduction to the Tiva microcontroller and adding wireless to this type of microcontrollers; • The second one discusses the more advanced MSP430 and interfacing sensors to it; • The third one discusses power-related applications including battery and motor controls. • Every stream contains two workshops, one in the morning and the other one is in the afternoon. • The first two streams will take place in MIP and the third stream will take place in MARC.
TI Day @ Mac. • TI will give a presentation about the company and possible jobs available during lunch hour. • The cost is $30 per attendee and all revenues are used to fund our Poster Day event. (Lunch fee is additional.) • Time: Sept. 20, 2014 (Saturday) from 8:30am to 4:00pm • Location: McMaster University MIP and MARC facilities on Longwood Road, between Main St. W and Aberdeen Ave. - very close to Hwy 403 exit "Aberdeen"
