used for this project had 600 pulses per revolution. With quadrature, thetotal resolution was 2400 increments per revolution. The encoder was connected to the inter-rupt pins of the Arduino (pins 2 and 3). Using interrupt routines causes the code for the po-sition update to run when triggered by the changing state of the signal, rather than having theprogram constantly check the signal to determine when to update the position. This allowsfor accurate position tracking without bogging down the system. The encoder features a built-in voltage regulator, so it was powered externally. The input lines were protected with10 kΩpullup resistors to ensure reliability of the measurements. The wiring diagram showing theconnection of both the encoder and

Therefore, the questionwas asked, “how do we teach electric motors in a way that is inexpensive for both the studentand the institution?” To answer this question, an undergraduate student research project wasdesigned and developed with funding from the university’s Center of Undergraduate Researchand Creative Activities. The objective of the project was to develop a user-friendly simulator thatcan be used to conduct electric motors (machines) experiments. This project resulted in thedevelopment of a customized educational simulator appropriate for use in the electric motorscourse.

Additionally, it will reinforce the fundamentals ofautomatic control systems in the associated required senior level course. The main objectives ofthe lab pertaining to the automatic controls course are to: 1. Prepare students to work on real-world motion control applications by providing them with hands-on experiences applying control system design ideas and concepts. 2.

Ourultimate purpose was to determine whether or not a remedial path in first year engineering programsmight be necessary for those who enter engineering programs with low communication abilities.
