, one of the switches in each pole is kept constantly on at alltimes and hence only one PWM signal is required for both machines.For the BLDC machine, the rotor position is provided by the hall sensor embedded in the machineplaced exactly 120◦ apart from each other and each sensor generates logic high output (opencollector) every time when the rotor of the machine crosses it. The three hall sensor signals aresetup with GPIO digital inputs and read in 1ms timer ISR to determine the position of therotor.In these sessions, students can gain experience on PWM setup including carrier wave using timer,switching frequency, and compare output modes.

There are three primary learning outcomes in the junior-level course, each of which isassessed using a comprehensive, in-lab practical exam: (1) an ability to write programs for acomputer in assembly language, (2) an ability to interface a microprocessor to various devices,and (3) an ability to effectively utilize the wide variety of peripherals integrated into acontemporary microcontroller. Each exam consists of three components: (a) standardizedmultiple-choice questions that gauge understanding of content; (b) analysis/design questions thatgauge basic skills; and (c) application
