Fan Synchronisation Laboratory

The laboratory is located at Silesian Technical University, Poland, Gliwice Akademicka street number 16, room 320.

The lab consists of two fans, a laser light source, two photocells, semitransparent mirrors, and microprocesor system for control all of elements. Laser beam can pass thru fans, if propellers are in proper positions. Generaly user can observe the transition by camera or fotocells (for better accurancy).

User need know: - elementary optical laws like light beam propagation, functioning of semitransparent mirror, - methods of control DC motors, - consequences of inertia real objects..

Provide technical details on the construction of the laboratory, both hardware, and software. Use technical words and sentences. It is to be understood by technology-related people. Consider it as a kind of laboratory hardware and eventually software implementation. Sections below (remove section if not present) present details. Provide circuit, essential mechanical schema, if necessary to use the laboratory and understand its physics/mechanics, etc.

Describe sensors (if any). Provide details on measured values, connection details, accuracy, protocols, its relation to the physical/mechanical part of the laboratory (if any). Add photos and schematics, where the sensor is located. In case the sensor is virtual, do not expose it - present as physical until it is essential to know it regarding study (i.e. code implementation, timings, etc.). Provide links to external resources regarding i.e. necessary libraries, protocol definition, etc.

Describe actuators, their impact on the physical/mechanical part of the laboratory device, limits, connections, etc. Add photos and schematics, where the actuator is located. In case actuator is virtual, do not expose it - present as physical until it is essential to know it regarding study (i.e. code implementation, timings, etc.). Provide links to external resources regarding i.e. necessary libraries, protocol definition, etc.

Provide a list of software, software libraries and external resources (i.e. files) necessary during code development. Please note, write here only common for all hands-on-labs scenarios (there is a relevant section in scenario template. Remove this section if empty.

Describe communication if it is implemented and sealed (not intended to be implemented by students, or provided i.e. as default code). Present data flow. Describe protocols and details i.e. key-value pairs, etc. Provide how exceptions are handled.

Provide information about limits on usage, i.e. need for maintenance/service break, access mode (parallel, booking, etc.), manual mechanical reset, etc.

List study scenarios (hands-on labs), linking to the Dokuwiki pages with hands-on labs descriptions (there should be a separate page for each scenario). Classify each scenario and refer to the target group using starting keywords: * Beginners * Undergraduates * Masters * Professionals Note, assume that more professional group automatically contains less professional ones. Note - use language and as appropriate to the target group, i.e.:

  * Beginners: Elementary operations on the Arduino 2x16 LCD screen.
  * Undergraduates: Visualizing temperature and humidity on the remote screen.
  * Masters: Using power saving states to limit power consumption.

Give some information how to access help, how to get support in case of the trouble etc.
