 CA control
Experiment No. 10

  • L10.1 Name:

  • FRDM ARM Cortex M0 - helicopter engine control with acceleration and tuch sensors


  • L10.2 Overview, purpose:

  • The lab work explores how to use the Accelerator and Touch sensors to control four chopin current motors that propel a helicopter. Engineer interface / programming details are tracked, as well as the possibilities for using Touch / Touch sensors to control drone systems.


  • L10. 3 Resources:

  • FRDM platform, helicopter extension, browser and connection at www.mbed.org, oscilloscope, multimeter.


  • L9.4 Programs example :

  • Control motoare su sensor tuch

    Control motoare cu sensor de acceleratie


  • L10.5 Mod de desfasurare/urmarire experiment:

    • Analizati schema interfetei pentru controlul celor 4 motoare la platforma FRDM si verificati corectitudinea conexiunilor;
    • Analizati specificatiile clasei TSIsensor
    • Analizati specifictatiile clasei MM
    • Rulati programul prototip;
    • Rezolvati problemele propuse.

  • L10.6 Probleme propuse:

  • 1. Modify the prototype program so that you can selectively operate the four motors; ;

    2. Make a program that will allow you to view the information provided by the Tuch sensor;
    3. Create a program that will allow you to view the information provided by the acceleration sensor;
    4. Create a program that will start the engines if the FRDM platform is inclined by more than 30 gardens; 5. Perform an independent task that will display the current consumption of the four motors during operation using the prototype programs;

  • L10.7 The experiment may be extended to:


  • Manufacture of actuators with brushless DC motors;
  • Developing mobile air-moving platforms;
  • Making human-machine interaction devices without moving parts;
  • Creating systems for determining the inclination of objects;

  • L10.8 Collateral information:
