STB 15 – Control and Robotics Laboratory
The devices in the Control and Robot laboratory involve programmable logic controllers, input-output units, an operating system, techniques used in programming, physical connections, communication interfaces, design methods, and industrial applications. Students are able to learn the elements used in control systems, the structures of programmable logic controllers, input-output units, and operating systems through practice.
In addition, the Arduino Uno Application Kit laboratory provides basic and advanced robot technology applications, such as digital input/output, analog-digital converter, LED applications, 7 segment display, LCD, various sensor applications, PWM production, keypad, and motor drive. The Lego Mindstorms training kit, which is also part of the laboratory, includes lego technical bricks, a computer-controllable microprocessor, and software with a graphical interface allowing easy programming of the microprocessor, sensors (sound, light, distance, and touch-sensitive), and motors.
The experiments conducted in this laboratory are as follows:
1. Demonstration of the Arduino Experiment Board
2. Digital Sensor Reading and Led Control Experiment
3. Analog Sensor Reading and Led Control Experiment
4. Serial Monitoring Experiment
5. DC Motor Control Experiment
6. Stepper Motor Control Experiment
7. Servo Motor Control Experiment
