Hey folks, So in the fall I'm going to be taking a university level microcontroller design course. It's going to be a busy quarter and I do not want to go into this cold. I have some C and programming experience, but interfacing between microcontrollers and hardware is new to me. The course is going to focus on C and work on ADC/DAC, PWM, sigma delta, memory mapping, DMA, and interrupts I believe there will be working with motors and radio. What I would like is a recommendation for a good book on this level. I'm also going to get a chip and equipment and start programming it.

Why is the coin with the face of Casear in the pocket of an Israelite in Israel? Where is the native coinage of the Israelites? Whose image did the Israelites put on their coins?

Your sentiment is the vein of the Turing Test, which seeks to unask "Are machines capable of intelligence?" and replace it with "Are machines capable of fooling human beings into thinking that they are human?" Personally, I do not like it. I believe that thinking and acting rationally is different from thinking and acting like a human. I might put you in a room with a hypothetical automata that could perform many different tasks, answer your questions, and shows you how it survives, yet didn't think like a human. You might be freaked by this creature, but it would act alive and rational, yet inhuman. I believe that it is inevitable that some or most humans will choose to undergo transhumanism, especially when confronted with difficult tasks, like space travel, where our meat bodies are at an incredible disadvantage. I also believe that some humans will shun this transformation utterly. I choose to consider humans that transform their bodies still human.

I keep all of my textbooks. When I have time, I go through them and work out every problem.

Ultra-efficient LED puts out more power than is pumped in Even though the amount of thermal energy leeched from its environment is miniscule, I feel that this is a triumph of engineering and a step towards converting some of the waste heat using semiconductor architecture.

I would add a Discrete Mathematics course in there. Its the most fun I've ever had in a maths course.

No, he's not. You missed the point of the story because you're not taking it into historical context or with the context of the parable. Why does the coin have the image of Caesar on it?

Isn't this a violation of the conversation of energy? Why haven't we observed energy leaving the universe without explanation?

Now you are excluding mules, which have such a low fertility rate that they could not survive as a species without human intervention. There are living creatures that undergo mitosis and cytokinesis to reproduce. Creatures mate because mating allows more variance in individuals, which is more evolutionary successful than making a mere copy of your own chronosomes. Again, there are living creatures which are not intelligent, not conscious, do not display emotion, and which free will is an impossibility for the creature to consider.

This is also incorrect. There are many species that are incapable of self-locomotion, like for instance, most plants.

Having a brain is not a prerequisite for life.

Are you allowed to put radio beacons in the field?
