Project Based Engineering Instrumentation High Level Coding and Microcontrollers

Section 4.4 Assignment

Your assignment for this module is to purchase the required equipment for your class. Note that the specific equipment will be instructor dependent so be sure you discuss with the instructor of your course before buying everything. At a minimum you must purchase a CPX or CPB but the rest of the items in your kit will depend on which modules your instructor wants you to do during the semester. Also, the CPX/CPB requires a microUSB cable and that cable must have a data line. Many USB cables are just power and ground.
