Sensors include limit switches, photo eyes, ultrasonic time of flight distance sensors, shaft encoders, and potentiometers. Includes a study of electronic speed controllers, servos, and stepper motors. Students will study the basics of control theory and program a closed loop speed controller (cruise control) using PID control implemented in C. Finally, students will continue their mechanical prototype developed in Robotics 1 by adding a digital control system, sensors, and autonomous code to complete their prototype.Usually HeldTue 2:00pm–4:05pm, Tue 6:00pm–8:05pm, Tue 6:00pm–9:10pm
