This unit was quite interesting , we first started learning as to what is a system , then we laerned what is a control system is and we compared between a closed loop system and open loop system together. Then we looked at some basic features of what a sytem look like and then we looked at the commercial applications of the closed loop and open loop systems such as the NI my Daq and the vex cortex and we also discussed some key features of these applications and the one I found the most interesting was the vex cortex which had
(8) Standard 3-wire Motor ports (2) 2-wire Motor ports (1) I2C "smart sensor" port (2) UART Serial Ports (8) Hi-res (12-bit) Analog Inputs (12) Fast digital I/O ports which can be used as interrupts Programmable with easyC v4 or ROBOTC for VEX Robotics v4.x These specs were really unique and interesting to me when I first learned about it in this unit. After we also looked at the computer systems where we looked into both software and hardware part of the computer system but we did not go into more details since it was a review from last year so we just looked through it. Then we also looked into a little information about the binary codes in the computer system and how it is ued to measure in the computer system. |
