The purpose of our final project was to create an unstable system that would allow us to investigate classical control design methods by controlling the system using a microcomputer. This was accomplished by creating a teeter-totter that pivoted around a central fulcrum and was controlled by a servo. The beam acted as a track for […]

For our final project, we designed a 4-channel temperature controller using PID control. The system was designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of four individual channels by applying 120V to heating elements using on/off switching. This switching was indirectly manipulated by the micro-controller using relays. Data was continuously collected from resistive thermal devices (RTD’s)

Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project to try. In this project, we are going to build a Analog Speedometer using the Arduino. We will use IR Sensor module to measure the speed. There are other ways/sensors for this, like hall sensor to measure speed, but using an IR
