The QUBE-Servo 2 is supplied with two modules: the inertia disc and the pendulum. In my previous blog posts, I went through the various DC motor-based labs that use the disc module. Here I discuss the labs supplied with the...
Today, most control systems are being implemented on digital computers, using either a PC/laptop or a microprocessor unit (MCU) like Raspberry Pi or Arduino. Gone are the days of implementing your PID on an analog circuit. However, controllers implemented on...
A few weeks ago, we released a major update of the curriculum developed for one of our most popular products, QUBE-Servo 2. Adding new and expanding already covered concepts, we more than doubled the number of lab experiments in the...
In my previous blog post, I walked you through the new and expanded curriculum for our popular QUBE-Servo 2 system. I also highlighted the institutions and educators whose input and feedback helped us bring in new topics and develop new...
You could be forgiven for thinking that we at Quanser would never want you to "do it yourself," since DIY implementations of servos, robots, and drones can be seen as our competitor. However, quite the opposite is true. Do it...
