ECE 110 is a required course for all students planning to earn a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering or Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. It may also be taken to satisfy the cross-disciplinary requirement for the Civil and Environmental Engineering degree. This page is meant to provide answers to general questions about the course, not necessarily specific questions about content. There is also a Category:ECE 110 that will list all pages relevant to ECE 110. Note at the bottom of this page that it is a member of that category.

Connecting the Parallax Digital Trainer to the BOE Shield

This requires two male-to-male 3-header cables.

  • The first cable will go from channels GND/13/12 on the BOE Shield to channels GND/P0/P1 on the PDT. The black wire should be on GND; for the BOE Shield, that is the second-to-leftmost pin on the top bus while for the PDT, that is the fourth pin from the top on the left of the socket.
  • The second cable will go from channels 2/3/4 on the BOE Shield to P2/P3/P4 on the PDT. The black wire should be on pin 2 of the BOE Shield and in the sixth-from-the-bottom socket on the PDT. The white wire should be on pin 4 of the BOE Shield and in the fourth-from-the-bottom socket on the PDT.
Note that the left header here is connected the the header on the right in the PDT picture

How do I get Dr. G's Files from Class?

The easiest way is to first copy them into your own AFS space and then you can do whatever you want with them:

cd
cd ECE110
  • Make a folder to keep all the lecture files (if you haven't already; skip this if you have)
mkdir LectureFiles
  • Change into that folder
cd LectureFiles
  • Copy the folder you want. Best way to copy the whole folder is:
cp -ir ../../public/FOLDER .

The i will interactively make sure you do not overwrite your own files and the r will recursively copy the whole folder. For example, if you want the files from the computational demo, the full set of commands you might type - assuming you already have a LectureFiles folder in your ECE110 space, would be

cd
cd ECE110
cd LectureFiles
cp -ir ../../public/CompDemo .

Note that you could put all the initial directory changes into

cd ~/ECE110/LectureFiles

Now if you list the contents of the LectureFiles folder, there will be a CompDemo folder in there.

Questions

Post your questions by editing the discussion page of this article. Edit the page, then scroll to the bottom and add a question by putting in the characters *{{Q}}, followed by your question and finally your signature (with four tildes, i.e. ~~~~). Using the {{Q}} will automatically put the page in the category of pages with questions - other editors hoping to help out can then go to that category page to see where the questions are. See the page for Template:Q for details and examples.
