Control Systems Laboratory

Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Labs

The Control Systems Laboratory focuses on mechanical and electrical systems design using control loops and feedback mechanisms.

Mechanical and electrical systems are controlled with programmable logic systems. Typical goals for the lab include:

  • Training students with hands-on real-time control systems using the Quanser® Qube Servo System.
    • The Qube Servo System is a flexible learning tool that can be configured into several types of systems that give the students a variety of experiences  with real control systems
    • Students characterize the Qube Servo System mathematically and verify their calculations against the real system
  • Students design controllers to specified requirements using MATLAB/SimuLink.  They test their controller designs against the real system using the hardware interface to MATLAB/SimuLink

Other equipment include, Digital Control Hardware systems to develop and test control algorithms, and a quarter vehicle model is available to simulate systems with three degrees of freedom.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
