Practical Embedded Projects Learning with Electric Scooters

I sincerely congratulate our students on their new beginning after successfully achieving their goals in this difficult job market.

Why did I create this course?

During my college years, I sought out and took various classes beyond my major courses. While there were certainly some beneficial lectures, most of them often stopped at the level of simple functional implementation.

I always heard the advice that if I wanted to improve my skills quickly, I should "try doing a project." However, when I actually tried to start a project, the process itself—from selecting a topic to organizing the necessary knowledge and finding information—was not easy. While I did grow through this process, I always thought it would be better if unnecessary trial and error could be reduced.

That's why in this course, I have structured the curriculum so that you can learn by connecting circuit design, STM32 firmware, and BLDC motor control into a single, cohesive flow.

Many lectures on the market often focus on basic functions such as LED On/Off, PWM waveform generation, and button interrupt implementation using simple kits like Arduino or Nucleo boards.

While this type of learning is helpful at the introductory stage, I believe that the most effective way to develop true skills as an embedded developer is to personally experience a project with a high degree of completion.

Have you ever had these concerns?

• Circuits, firmware, PCB... learning them separately means they don't connect in practice

• I studied my major subjects hard, but my knowledge is fragmented and I can't grasp the overall flow.

• I am preparing for employment or a career change, but I have no results to prove in my portfolio.

• I want to do a project, but I have no idea where or how to start

This course is different

Experience the actual embedded development process as it is..

• Hardware: Circuit design, component selection, 4-Layer PCB

• Firmware: Direct STM32 register control, BLDC drive algorithms

• Integrated Verification: Electric Scooter Production & Riding Test

Deliverables: 36V/350W 3-phase inverter + BLDC motor control firmware + completed kickboard
Materials Provided: 100% disclosure of schematics, PCB (Gerber), firmware source, and BOM
Support: Close support until completion via lecture-exclusive GPT + Q&A

Everything about embedded practice
learned through direct design

Based on extensive experience with real-world projects, including those from the top three global automakers, we have included only the core competencies essential for practical application.

To become a proper embedded developer,

Why do you need to know both
hardware and firmware?

In actual development fields, problems do not simply occur in a single area.
Issues that seem solvable with a single firmware setting often turn out to stem from circuit design, and conversely, phenomena that look like hardware problems are frequently caused by firmware, such as timing or sampling logic.

For example, this happens frequently in practice:

As such, while a problem may appear to be solely related to either firmware or hardware on the surface, you must look at both sides to accurately identify the cause and resolve it quickly. Ultimately, to improve product quality, the ability to integrally design and evaluate both fields is essential.

Many companies already
require integrated capabilities.

Various companies are increasingly requiring integrated design capabilities in both hardware and software (firmware).

Here is what you can learn.
