The purpose of this assignment is to apply the concepts learned in the course to the operation and control of a mechatronics system. You are given the choice to select the particular system you can work on. You can work on a system provided for you in the lab or another system related to your capstone project, research project, ... etc. The basic requirements in this project include:
M. The use of a microcontroller, a PC or a combination of these platforms to implement the code processing for the project.
√2. The use of state transition diagrams to design the control software for the project. The code operation
should not be trivial (should have several distinct states of operation).
V3. The project operation should include at least 3 of the following operations: A/D conversion, PWM actuation or D/A conversion, timing, and digital input/digital output.
4. Your project should include at least four different electronic components such as transistors, diodes, logic gates, LEDs, or other circuit elements such as switches or relays.
5. The project should have a scrolling plot of the controlled variable if you use the PC as the control platform.
6. Use of serial interfacing to send control commands on the operation of the system (if you used a mi

Control an oven (similar to that described in SP4 in the Lab book). The oven will be simulated using plate heated by a 10-W flexible heater. Use an RC servo to Five visual indication wide cooling The plate. The oven temperature should be wi al that the oven is ready. The t nds the first time the oven temperature reaches the desired temperature when the desired temperature has changed from the previous setting by at least 3 degrees.
of 30-50 °C. Also use turned on once to.
Feedback Control of a DC linear actuator system (similar to that described in SP3). You can use also use a PC to control the actuator. The actuator should be controlled to move to one of three defined positions, called In, Middle, and Out. Use a buzzer to give an audible signal for 3 seconds to indicate that the actuator has reached the midpoint of one of the three defined positions. Use running LEDs to visually show direction of motion, and different color LEDs to indicate location in one of the three defined intervals. The controller should also display the desired and actual position of the actuator.
