Abstract :In this study, a teaching material developed to provide application support to the theoretical expression of the embedded systems course in undergraduate and graduate education of engineering faculties is presented. The modular experiment set consists of STM32F4 Discovery microcontroller board and digital output, digital input, analog input, relay control, DC motor control, stepper motor control, alphanumeric LCD display, seven segment display and power distribution circuit boards connected to the board. The control software of the experimental set was developed using Waijung block sets in MATLAB / Simulink environment. The Waijung block set, which can be added to the MATLAB / Simulink library, allows the card to be programmed quickly and easily. At the same time, the program codes written by the user can be included in the developed model. With this experiment set, basic and some advanced embedded system applications can be performed. To research the availability of the experiment set in education, a group of undergraduate and graduate students was given the opportunity to use this set. Students were asked several questions about the experiment set and content analysis was performed on the answers obtained. In line with the data obtained, it was concluded that the experimental set developed eliminated a significant lack of material needed in the training of embedded systems.
