Lab 7

Click here to download the Lab 7 assignment description - Needs to know: - PD controller - Explain the reason for process variable block - Expected results: given a set point voltage, the motor will drive the pot until the voltage on the pot equal to the given set point - Build the circuit and assemble the pendulum at the same time - Deliverable: circuit results after each block, physical system test is not required - to build - Check points: - Output from - Set Point block, let's set the output from set point, i.e.,, the voltage on the pot, to be 10 V; the output from process variable to be 5 V - Error block - Proportional block - Derivative block - Summer blocker - Pendulum - drive the motor with 2v (disconnect the belt)
