- Development of internet toolkit for computer engineering coursesPublication . Chasqueira, Hugo; Santos, Luís; Fonte, Alexandre; Metrôlho, J.C.M.M.Recent growth in the WWW (Word Wide Web) and Java has received significant attention as means to share sophisticated and expensive laboratory equipment in Computer Engineering Courses. To share a Digital Pendulum System in class laboratory and with other educational institutions, this paper proposes an Internet Toolkit for Computer Engineering Courses. This allows the monitoring and experiment of a Digital Pendulum System from remote place. A simple and easy-to-use Web interface was developed to help students, and other users, in lab experiences using default control algorithms.
- Internet toolkit para aulas de controloPublication . Chasqueira, Hugo; Santos, Luís; Metrôlho, J.C.M.M.; Fonte, AlexandreO presente trabalho visa o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação que permite a partilha de um equipamento didáctico existente, neste caso na Escola Superior de Tecnologia de Castelo Branco, via Internet, tornando possível realizar, de forma interactiva, experiências de controlo a partir de um local remoto (na sala de aula, outra sala de aula ou do exterior). O equipamento didáctico é o sistema Pêndulo Digital que opera num ambiente Matlab/Simulink, e juntamente com a toolbox Pendulum da Feedback [Fdb], fabricante do pêndulo, permitem controlar o sistema e realizar experiências através da alteração de parâmetros predefinidos (Figura 1). Este equipamento permite a aplicação de diversos algoritmos de controlo ao pêndulo, tais como o algoritmo baseado em regras (Rule-Based), o algoritmo PID, etc.
- Remote tuning of a computer controlled toolkitPublication . Chasqueira, Hugo; Santos, Luís; Fonte, Alexandre; Metrôlho, J.C.M.M.This paper proposes a Web-based toolkit to monitor and experiment a Digital Pendulum Control System from any host of an intranet. “The Digital Pendulum Control System is a modern version of a classical control problem: that of balancing a free swinging pendulum in its inverted position”.
- Web-based control of a digital pendulum systemPublication . Chasqueira, Hugo; Santos, Luís; Fonte, Alexandre; Metrôlho, J.C.M.M.This paper proposes a Web-based architecture to monitor and experiment a Digital Pendulum Control System from a remote place. The Digital Pendulum Control System is an interesting educational tool considered ideal for both laboratory and project work, and a typical case of a computer control application.
