MET 202 Mechatronic Systems

This course introduces mechatronic systems: the confluence of mechanical, electrical, and software/programming. Mechanical systems will be controlled by use of a microcontroller such as an Arduino. Emphasis is placed on both control over actuators (including motors, linkages, and gear trains) as well as reading inputs from sensors (both analog and digital). Students will write their own programs for both autonomous control and human-in-the-loop systems, and Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) outputs will be covered. Theory will be enhanced by laboratory projects. Prerequisite(s): MET 109 Corequisite(s): MET 202L
