Description
LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SIMPLE AND HIERARCHICAL UML STATE MACHINES IN EASY STEPS

The course emphasizes project-based learning, learning by doing.

The goal of this course is to introduce an event-driven programming paradigm using simple and hierarchical state machines.

After going through this course, you will be trained to apply the state machine approach to solve your complex embedded systems projects.

Some of the highlights of this course are as below

you will learn,

1) UML(Unified Modeling Language) state machine semantics like simple/composite states, events, signals, transitions, entry/exit actions, guards, pseudo-states, etc

2) Drawing UML state machines using graphical modeling tools such as Astah and QM™ modeling tool

3) Implementing embedded applications using Hierarchical state machines and Active objects design approach

4) Using QP™ real-time embedded framework and QP™-Nano Arduino library in your embedded projects

5) Hands-on event-driven project implementation and testing on Arduino UNO board (Please check the preview videos)
