Farmbot Rfid Integration, Laura R. Swart Jun 2017

Farmbot Rfid Integration, Laura R. Swart

Computer Engineering

The purpose of this project is to assist the company FarmBot improve their product by adding RFID tracking to the FarmBot robot. RFID tracking will allow the robot to select and pick up tool heads without any user interference.


Smartfarm, Nathan A. Oto, Caleb Fink Jun 2017

Smartfarm, Nathan A. Oto, Caleb Fink

Computer Engineering

The overall expectation of this product is to create an autonomous Arduino library that accurately and robustly collects plant environment data from the Smart Farm board. The Smart Farm PCB is split into two primary functions: Data Acquisition(DAQ) and Power Control. Each function of the PCB is controlled by an Atmega 328P Microcontroller. The primary concern for this report is the functionality of the DAQ microcontroller.


Wheelieking Trainer Project Report, Harold Hall Iii, Nathaniel Fox, Thomas Niemisto Jun 2017

Wheelieking Trainer Project Report, Harold Hall Iii, Nathaniel Fox, Thomas Niemisto

Biomedical Engineering

In this report we will detail the design and implementation process of the WheelieKing Trainer project, a device that helps people learn how to do wheelies on a bicycle by preventing backward falls. Formal project requirements are specified, followed by the ideation and iteration process to meet those requirements. The components and methods used to create the device are described in detail. The results of the development process and usage test results of the device are included. Appendices at the end of this report include references, supporting analyses, and project management and timeline details.


Electro-Pneumatic Shifting And Servo Control Of A Clutch For A Fsae Racecar, Rahul Janardhan Chalmela May 2017

Electro-Pneumatic Shifting And Servo Control Of A Clutch For A Fsae Racecar, Rahul Janardhan Chalmela

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses

FSAE is an international student design competition held by SAE International where students design, build and compete in static events like cost, design and dynamic events ranging from acceleration, autocross to endurance. UTA Racing has been a part of FSAE since 1982 and have been using a mechanical design for their shifter and clutch since then. This year for the 2017 design competition an electro-pneumatic system is developed to replace the mechanical system. This system consists of pneumatic cylinders controlling a sequential shifter and a servo clutch. The cylinders are controlled using direction control valves, these receive their signals from …
