Digital Techniques in Aviation BL2976

This package is designed for students working towards EASA part 66 – module 5: Digital Techniques. The MODULE 2.0
solution consists of a set of microcontroller based training hardware based on our E-blocks system including
a PICmicro programmer board, general purpose input output board, motors training board and a CAN bus
MODULE 2.0
communications interface. Students firstly use our Flowcode software to develop simple programs, compile
and send them to the microcontroller hardware. Then students look at pre-written programs to understand
how more complex systems are developed. Lastly students use prewritten programs to interface the hardware
to our Electronic Flight Information System trainer using CAN bus to understand how larger more complex MODULE 3.0
aircraft systems are developed. By following this process students learn how digital microcontroller and
microprocessor based systems and peripherals function in a modern, relevant and motivating environment.
MODULE 3.0
An 80 page manual is included. Requires Flowcode software. This is a student centered course that will take
around 10 hours to complete. MODULE 4.0
