My Projects
This is a class project for Control Theory. This included a custom designed printed circuit board with an LCD display, Bluetooth connectivity, a motor driver, and an Arduino nano slot. This controller was able to use open and closed loop control to dictate the speed of a radiometer. In close loop control, this was done by sensing the speed through a through beam laser that was broken each time the radiometer spun 90 degrees. This was then translated to a voltage output to a small flashlight using PID control. The current speed was continuously updated on the LED display as well as output through the USB line to a live plot.
In addition to a custom PCB, the project also included a fully 3D printed frame as well as sensor holding components.
