TASK-1 : SPI Communication
In this task, I understood the fundamentals of SPI Communication protocol by connecting two Arduinos and turning on a LED connected to an arduino by giving input signal to the other arduino. In this experiment, one of the arduino was used as master and the other one as slave.
TASK-2 : Lithium-ion Battery Pack
In this task, I made a simple battery pack by connecting three cells in series. This task was a practical demonstration of series and parallel connection among the three cells. I checked the voltage in each case and understood these basic concepts in depth.
TASK -3 : BMS
A Battery Management System (BMS) is an electronic system that monitors and manages the performance, safety, and longevity of a battery pack. In this task, I learnt how to use a BMS module to monitor the charging of a battery pack.
TASK-4 : Speed Control of BLDC motor
In this task, I learnt how to control the speed of a BLDC motor connected through an ESC using a potentiometer. I used an arduino as the microcontroller board and VRPS for power supply. I learnt to use BLDC motor and its application in various domains where high amount of torque is required.
TASK-5 : Chassis
I designed a simple chassis suitable for a RC car using CATIA-V5. This chassis composes of two separate parts such that one can be mounted on top of the other. I used various basic CATIA functions such as pad, pocket and transformation tools to complete the design. But unfortunately I couldn't 3D print it due to the unavailability of 3D printer.
TASK-6 : I2C Control
In this task, I varied the blinking rate of a LED connected to an arduino(slave) using a potentiometer connected to another arduino(master). This was implemented using I2C communication between the two arduinos. I2C can also be used to control multiple slaves using a single master.
TASK-7 : RC car with multiple sensors
I'm currently working on this task. I've planned to build a car using ESP32 so that it can be controlled wirelessly using any mobile phone. This car will be mounted with ultrasonic sensor to detect objects in front of it and a LM35 sensor to measure the temperature of its surrounding.
