  IMT School

  Aug 2020 - Oct 2020

  Trainee

  A 2-month Diploma on ARM based Microcontroller Programming with over 96 hours. The diploma consisted of online session (3 a week) from the end of July 2020 to the end of September of the same year. I learned a lot of useful concepts such as writing drivers for different modules of the controller. We used STM32F10C8 microcontroller to create a number of projects like playing music on a headphone using a DAC, displaying images on a TFT screen and creating some games on the screen using an IR remote control. The final graduation project was a handheld digital oscilloscope which can display the input signal on a small TFT screen.The diploma covered:-Core peripherals of the ARM Cortex M3 Microprocessor (SYSTICK, NVIC, SCB).-Vendor Peripherals of the SM32F103C8 Microcontroller (GPIO, EXTI, DMA, FPIC).-Communication Protocols (USART, SPI).-Electronic devices (IR remote & receiver, DAC, TFT screen, LED matrix).-Basics of RTOS (OS scheduler).-Bootloader.

  EgSA-Egyptian Space Agency

  Jul 2021 - Sept 2021

  Trainee

  First place at Egyptian Universities Satellites Training in which we have worked on a weather Station Prototype provides us with information of the weather in our neighboring environment about the surrounding temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, etc. The brain of the prototype is theATMEGA328, based Wireless module nRF24L01, three sensors are connected to the microcontroller namelytemperature and humidity sensor, water level sensor, and light dependent resistor. The complete system consists of two separate modules for data collection and data communication. The data collection module is a PCB interfaced to a set of sensors to collect some of the weather parameters and then display them by an LCD, whereas the communication module transmits the data to another station through an nRF and is received by another nRF for it to get processed by an Arduino. The weather data can then be viewed through a graphical user interface (GUI) located at the receiving station. Show less
