Week 10 Lab

November 17, 2020

Lab: Transistor and relay lab

lab 1

After setting up my pentiometer I realized that I do not have a DC power adaptor or a DC motor in my apartment. I tried using my servo motor which worked, but I believe we had done this in a previous class.

Lab: Controlling a DC Motor with an H-Bridge

lab 2

In this lab I was missing the H-bridge, DC motor, and the DC power adaptor.

Lab: Controlling a Stepper Motor With an H-Bridge

lab 3

In this lab I was missing the H-bridge, stepper motor, and DC power adaptor.

Alternative Research

I definitely went through the labs and watched the videos. I haven’t heard of a stepper motor before, but it felt similar to using a rotary encoder. It was interesting seeing the breakdown of a stepper motor and how it is a series of magnets. videos
