Today we are going to highlight some labs created by Dr. Greg\u00a0Mason<\/span>\u00a0for ASEE 2018 workshop. The labs use the Digilent Basys MX3<\/a>, and cover the basics of using the platform. They also cover freeRTOS and how the\u00a0hardware and software can be used in a Mechanical Engineering data acquisition and instrumentation courses.<\/p>\n

The author is Greg Mason, a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seattle University. He teaches control systems, instrumentation, and numerical methods courses.<\/p>\n

According to the author:<\/p>\n

The workshop highlights four labs from a mechanical engineering course: multitasking and timing; experimentally determining the convective heat transfer coefficient of a sphere; measuring fundamental frequency of a vibrating beam; and implementing feedback control with a servomotor and encoder. Each lab is discussed in detail with respect to its learning objectives and required hardware. The workshop includes a set of hands on activities, using a Basys MX3 board and freeRTOS, that are related to these labs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
