This kit targeted to bring electronical and mechancial engineering together into one board can be used as a beginning training tool for kids and adults. Basics of mechanical and electrical skills can be learned and practiced by using this board. Freshman students at Oregon State University used the board in ME 101. Several skills can be learned using this kit:
What is the Mechanical Engineering Platform for Learning?We
are proud to present the new Mechanical Engineering Platform for
Learning. This new revolutionary platform will give students hands-on
experience with mechatronics, mechanical systems, and control theory.
The system relies on great versatility and ease of use that many other
systems do not have to be a success. With the full backing of EECS and
the Department of Mechanical Engineering, this platform has the
potential to reinvent mechanical engineering education. Features
The mechanical engineering platform features built-in motor control for up to four motors, two low power and two high power. The low power controller can supply 600mA of continuous current while the high power controllers double that to 1.2A of current. The motor controllers themselves feature thermal shutdown and electronic braking.
The platform offers analog sensing capabilities so students can measure voltages from sensors with detail and make intelligent control choices from the results. Featuring 10-bit Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC), students can easily get precise measurement with 1024 different values available.
Two boards can easily communicate with each other using a built in standard UART. Boards can even talk with a PC for easier debugging and control.
The system was designed from the ground up to meet the needs of a mechanical engineering program by supplying the students with many options for input and output. Included on the platform are eight digital inputs, perfect for connecting switches and other digital inputs.
With a combination of freely available tools and custom programs, the mechanical engineering platform can be rapidly programmed by novice programmers and also has the power that advanced students require. The system can be programmed in standard C or using a series of simple functions that abstract away information that student may not be ready to understand.
