Course Description

This competency standard unit covers structured programming instructions for micro devices at a fundamental level. The unit encompasses working safely, applying knowledge device architecture and programming fundamentals, writing and testing specified instructions and documenting development activities.

National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:	UEENEED028B Develop and test code for microcontroller devices
Element:	1. Prepare to develop and test basic specifications.
Performance Criteria:	1.1 OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are obtained and understood. 1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work are followed. 1.3 The extent of specifications to be developed is determined from job performance requirements and in consultations with relevant persons. 1.4 Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the work. 1.5 Appropriate development kit and software are selected based on specified requirements and performance standard. 1.6 Strategies are implemented to ensure programming is carried out efficiently.
Element:	2. Develop basic specification.
Performance Criteria:	2.1 OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed. 2.2 Knowledge of micro controller functions and features are applied to developing specifications. 2.3 Correct structure and syntax is applied to developing program specification for target micro controller function. 2.4 Key features of the assembler programming language are applied to develop and test solutions. 2.5 Approaches to issues/problems are analysed to provide most effective solutions. 2.6 Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organizational or professional standards.
Element:	3. Test and document the basic specification.
Performance Criteria:	3.1 Testing procedures are developed to analyse code developed. 3.2 Problems and bugs are rectified to ensure specification the creation of the code is met. 3.3 Intermediate and final work reports are written in accordance with professional standards and presented to appropriate person or persons.
