Here is a collection of the electronics design lab reports. This class covers everything from using Simetrix to simulate circuits and ample design and prototyping on a breadboard as we build a robot car. This involves everything from the motor drivers to even controlling the robot with an arduino nano. :)
Lab 0
In Lab 0, we explored simple circuits like RC low-pass filters (LPFs) and operational amplifier-based LPFs. We measured frequency responses and created Bode plots to understand filter behavior.
Lab 1
This lab focused on using different oscilloscope probe settings and measuring waveforms. We calculated RMS values and explored square waves and LED IV characteristics.
Lab 2
In Lab 2, we explored Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs), understanding their internal workings, modes of operation, and designing circuits using them.
Lab 3
Lab 3 focused on designing and testing a motor driver circuit using MOSFETs. We also explored feedback controllers for motor speed control.
Lab 4
In Lab 4, we integrated an Arduino Nano Every to control robotic movements using interrupts for precise control of motor speed and position.
Lab 5
Lab 5 involved building a remote control system with joysticks and RF communication to control robots. We designed and tested a joystick-based control system for motor direction and speed.
