ME360: PRODUCT DESIGN
ME360 Product Design is a project-based course completed during my third-year while in undergrad. The following menu presents the sections taught throughout the course, intended to aid in the development of various practical skills. Under each section, you will find a series of design exercises, completed projects, and design analyses.
ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS DESIGN
MICROPROCESSOR: BASICS

PROGRAMMING
SENSING
CONTROL & POWER
OPEN & CLOSED LOOP CONTROL
While there is no official assignment tied to this section of the website, I wanted to use this space to showcase some elements we learned throughout the remainder of the course featuring the use of an Arduino UNO board.
The following will cover examples of Arduino basics, sensing and actuation, as well as control and power signals.
THE BASICS
The following example displays the Arduino's performance of the simple blinking light setup.
SENSING & ACTUATION
The following examples utilize a servo motor (which is featured in Assignment 3 found under my "Mechanism & Machine Design" section of this website), a potentiometer, and a photoresistor.

CONTROL & POWER
The following examples utilize a brushed DC motor with a fan attachment and a stepper motor.
