Resumen de Training of undergraduate engineering students in sensing and control technologies
This paper deals with the development of a microcontroller-based servomotor position controlsystem for use in undergraduate engineering education. The system was developed to demonstrate apractical method of position sensing, a practical method of actuating the servomotor, and theeffects of the use of different control algorithms on closed loop system performance. The workpresented in this paper has involved complete design and construction of the microcontroller, thedesign of the interface with particular emphasis on student use in a laboratory environment, and thedesign and testing of the different control algorithms. The experimental setup, the processing of thedata and the results are presented.
