Flextek Education Kit for Closed-Loop Control
The Flextek Education Kit is a low-cost system that provides an intuitive feel to closed-loop control while demonstrating Visual Basic programming, SPICE simulation, PIC micro familiarization, and general electronic principles. The kit includes a PC-based controller with mating infrared experiment board, closed-loop control software with tutorial and application notes, serial data cable and power adapter. Visual Basic code demonstrates variable gain Proportional-Integral control of an IR emitter-sensor pair with strip chart for stability evaluation. The IR circuit reacts to external light or shadowing and has visual LED feedback to provide an intuitive "touch and feel" for experiments. The digital controller is converted to an equivalent analog circuit for loop-gain simulation in SPICE to gain a clear understanding of critical principles. Schematics suggest additional experiments for motion, thermal, and lighting control. After experimentation, the controller is suitable for a variety of industrial tasks powered by a free Active X Control. Flextek Education Kit FCEDOIO is available now from Flextek Electronics for $99.50 each at www.flex-tek.com.
