ロボットを活用したエンジニア育成カリキュラム
Newse-nuvo BASIC
Using this material, the student can learn the basic technology used in robotics. This goes from the basics of electronic devices such as motors, potentiometers. LEDs etc, to Motor Control using a microprocessor, including themes such as A/D conversion, PWM, Feedback control etc. As a Development Environment we use the Free evaluation version of the HEW (High- perfomance Embedded Workshop) software provided by Renesas Technology INC. The user doesn't need to do any other preparation to be able to use it, saving time and money. Furthermore, the e-nuvo BASIC textbooks (soon available in English too) that comes with the set, teach the user from the basics of LEDs and how to use the development environment to the basics of Control Theory in a practical way with experiments for each theme so as to assure understanding. Therefore it is easy to use even for people who use a CPU for the first time, and advanced enough to be used for advanced analysis during development. Finally e-nuvo BASIC uses the same microcontroller(H8 3687F) as e-nuvoWHEEL, the next step in the [ZMP e-nuvo Series] program of engineering education.
Concept
Overview
Curriculum Textbook
The Keyword phrase to understand the [ZMP e-nuvo Series] is "From Electronic Devices to a Bipedal Walking Robot". e-nuvo BASIC represents the first step in this [ZMP e-nuvo Series] and as such, teaches the student the basics of Electronic Devices, Motor Control and Embedded Programming. The contents of the e-nuvo BASIC program are mainly related to areas taught at electronic engineering departments but we believe that to fully understand robotics, students and professors from other areas can benefit too by understanding these concepts in the practical way that e-nuvo offers.
BA-1 Principles of Electronic Devices and Motor Control
When you connect a battery to the poles of a DC Motor, it will start running. However, for robots, you need to be able to control until what point the motor will run to reach a certain angle and stop.Learning how to do that is the idea behind this book: Learning Motor Control Theory.
We start with the basics. First we learn about the characteristics of electronics devices such as the transistor, the potentiometer etc, and using these devices we perform experiments such as "Graph between resistance values and potentiometer angles", "Driving motors with transistors" or "H-Bridge Circuits". After understanding the working of these devices, we proceed to more advanced experiments using the CPU such as "A/D conversion of potentiometer values","Encoder counting" or "Changing motor velocity through PWM" and finish with Sotware Servo for Motor Control.
