Aims

This module covers the fundamental theory behind the design of sensors, electric motors and microcontrollers through a process of discovery in applied, creative projects. The module will explore the design of remote intelligent systems, the application of measurement requirements and the ways in which we can interface & program sensors to visualise output data.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Design and build remote intelligent systems
2.
Specify and adapt metrology(measurement) requirements
3.
Interface & program sensors then visualise output data

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Metrology: Precision, Accuracy, Uncertainty, and Traceability, curve fitting Processor interfacing: Bus Expansion, digital I/O (latches, tristate buffering), analogue I/O (ADC, DAC, Analog switching) Control: motor control, DC, Servo, Stepper motors, H bridges, MOSFET Switching, Relays Control theory: open loop, closed loop control, stimulus response, feedback Microcontrollers: Data communication technology (Serial methods, RS232,i2c,spi), wireless technology (wifi, Bluetooth, radio link)
