Teach MC

Description

I'm part of the robotic's association I-Grebot and we use to go to college in order show students real applications of their courses.
The aim of the project is to help people to understand the impact of each parameter of a PID controler on a motor command.
This tool box allow motor control from a position or speed input.

Details

A Rasberry Pi is in center of this project. The choice of the Raspberry PI was obvious since we want this project portable, open and quickly built.
We decided to make our own electronics interface because we want something centered on the project purpose and because electronics isn't a big deal (some of us are electronics engeneers).

Interface upgrade
Pierrick BOISSARD • 11/11/2016 at 21:53 • 0 comments

We commits some upgrade on the schematics to allow low cost sensor management. We also correct some mistakes such as chip select for the SPI interface and a connector for the touch screen.
You can find the upgrade on Github or in the project files.
Diagram with gliffy
Pierrick BOISSARD • 11/11/2016 at 09:47 • 0 comments

We just draw a diagram using gliffy.
It highlights the fact that we forget a connector for touch screen (SPI).
It shows us also that if we need to re-think input and feed back if we want to change sensors with a low-cost one such as potentiometer.
Reception of TI samples

Hi, We just received samples from TI. We will now check for PCB footprint compliance.
