Ball Balancer Control System
This is a video after adding anti-windup to our PID control system. The system attempts to rest/balance the ball in the center of the beam. (I worked with Dewen Y. on this project) storey_controls_project_nd
MSOC TED talk
After using the awesome language learning app Duolingo, I started to wonder how such a great app could be free. I googled “how does Duolingo make money?” and found my way to this incredible TED talk:

Labview Proportional Control Code Example
The following are a few highlights of a simple control system built this spring. As can be seen in the picture, a power source was used in conjunction with a LabVIEW DAQ and a thermocouple module with a digial output module (for pwm for the fan). A computer fan and a type K thermocouple were… Continue reading Labview Proportional Control Code Example
Senior Design Project (prototype 2.5)
Mechanical engineering students are required to complete a senior design project. What follows are a few highlights of our group’s progress so far. For a site devoted to the project, visit: Bike Brake WordPress Our project was to replace a traditional bicycle brake with a device which would slow the bike down, and capture energy… Continue reading Senior Design Project (prototype 2.5)
Arduino Regenerative Bike Brake Code
Arduino Code The following is a prototype program for a device used on a bicycle with a generator for a brake. Essentially this is a regenerative brake for a bicycle which charges a USB battery (one of the new mobile charger batteries). Thus, when you’re braking, you can charge this mobile battery up full which… Continue reading Arduino Regenerative Bike Brake Code
