Introduction

This website displays completed projects from ME405: Mechatronics.

Lab 1: Vendotron

The objective of this lab was to simulate a virtual vending machine able to accept user input and calculate virtual change. Please see Lab_01.py for more details.

Lab 2: Think Fast!

The objective of this lab was to make use of an external interrupt to develop a basic reaction time game run on the Nucleo. Please see Lab_02.py for more details.

Lab 3: Pushing the Right Buttons

The objective of this lab was to make use of the serial communication between the Nucleo and Spyder to record, send, and plot ADC data. Please see Lab_03_Front.py and Lab_03_Back.py for more details.

Lab 4: Hot or Not?

The objective of this lab was to develop a driver for the MCP9808 temperature sensor and compare its data to that of the Nucleo's on-board sensor. Please see Lab_04_Main.py and mcp9808.py for more details about this lab.

Lab 7: Feeling Touchy

The objective of this lab was to develop a driver to manage the touch panel used in the term project. For mor information about the driver please see Touch_Panel_Driver.py along with the Touch_Panel_Driver class.

Lab 8: Term Project Part 1

The objective of this lab was to develop motor and encoder drivers to aid in the term project. For more information about this lab please see Motor_Driver.py and Encoder_Driver.py along with the corresponding Motor_Driver class and Encoder_Driver class.

Lab 9: Term Project Part 2

The objective of this lab was to complete the term project by adding closed loop control to the platform and ball system. For more information on this lab see PB_FSM.py along with P_Controller and PB_Controller classes. Video evidence of platform control can be seen at https://bit.ly/3qVk4E3 .
