ME 560 Control of Mechanical Systems using Microcontrollers Laboratory
Basic interfacing and programming of microcontrollers for controls applications is introduced. Microcontrollers are interfaced with various external devices and sensors using A/D, D/A, and the SPI bus. Control of a motor driven mechanical device is implemented. A student selected final project involving the control of a physical system is required. Also offered for undergraduate-level credit as ME 460 and may be taken only once for credit.
