Robotics & Automation Lab Pro
Design safe low-voltage motion systems, calculate the power stage, measure feedback and tune control before adding mechanical load.
DC Motor Direction and PWM Control
Control a brushed DC motor through an H-bridge while measuring stall risk, current and PWM behaviour.
Open practical →MotorsServo Position and Power Lab
Command servo position safely while separating high-current actuator power from logic.
Open practical →MotorsStepper Motor and Motion Profile
Drive a stepper using current-controlled driver settings and acceleration rather than abrupt step changes.
Open practical →PowerMotor-Driver Selection Workshop
Select a MOSFET, H-bridge or stepper driver from voltage, stall current, braking and thermal needs.
Open practical →FeedbackQuadrature Encoder Speed and Distance
Decode direction, speed and distance from a quadrature encoder and detect missed counts.
Open practical →ControlPID Speed Control
Tune a closed-loop motor-speed controller in simulation before enabling a restrained low-voltage mechanism.
Open practical →Mobile RobotsLine-Follower Robot
Build and calibrate a low-speed line follower using a sensor array and differential drive.
Open practical →Mobile RobotsObstacle-Avoidance Robot
Fuse distance sensing with a deterministic stop-turn-recheck state machine.
Open practical →Robotic ArmRobotic Arm Joint Sequencing
Sequence several joints while respecting travel, load, collision and power limits.
Open practical →CNCCNC Motion Fundamentals
Understand axes, steps-per-unit, homing, limits and G-code using a pen plotter or motor-only bench.
Open practical →DroneDrone Flight-Control Fundamentals
Study IMU axes, motor mixing, failsafe and control loops using simulation and a propeller-free restrained bench.
Open practical →IndustrialRelay and Industrial Load Control
Control a low-voltage simulated load with isolation, interlocks and fail-safe output logic.
Open practical →IndustrialPLC Communication and Handshake
Exchange safe test bits/registers with a PLC simulator and implement request/acknowledge sequencing.
Open practical →IndustrialModbus Conveyor Simulator Project
Build a complete Modbus-controlled conveyor simulation with status, speed command, fault and reset registers.
Open practical →PowerRobot Power Supply and Battery Design
Size supply, wiring, fuse and battery from simultaneous stall/startup loads and required runtime.
Open practical →Calculate before powering
