Day 25 - Wrap up - Cluck Cluck Maker

Finished egg incubator, it is called the Cluck Cluck Maker. (Vinthai helped alot)
Here is a picture of the box being made.

Done and collecting data

 Here is a picture of the station.

Here is a picture of the labview code.

Graphical part

Interface part

Conclusion: Done. It's been fun building a box and code that controllers temperature of a box with a fan, heater, relay, stepper motor and DC motor, and labview code. YAY!!!

Day 24 - labview D9 - Everything for the Chicken

We used the following days to integrate all the componets we have been working on for the past weeks to get the egg incbutar project done.
Here is a picture of stepper.

Stepper connected before box

Here is a picture of relay.

Relay and fan before being put in box

Conclusion: Used all previous labview vi's together to get egg incubator project ready.

Day 23 - labview D8 Stepper Motor Part2

We finished up the day with more stepper motor control stuff. We finsihed up getting a real working spin on the stepper motor through Labview.
 Picutre of the relay logic working with switches.

Logic to control Dc motor "fan" with relay logic

Conclusion: Got more stuff done towards the project. Fan, DC motor, stepper motor.

Day 22 - labview D7 Motor Control part2 and Stepper Motors

We finished going over motor control with a real working night rider. We used the night rider program again. We also worked with the fan and temperture in Labview.
Picutre of labview of updated night rider controllering led.

Night rider led running

Conclusion: Learned how to control fan with temperature. Use night rider code as a "stepping" stone for the stepper motor.

Homework:Get stuff to work for project.

Day 21 - labview D6, Digital and Motor Control

We started the day with digital logic and learning how to do binary math.
Picture below.

Example of binary math

We then talked about relays, coils, and what the color wires were to pin layout.

Conclusion: We talked about DC motors, and how relays work. We did some binary math

Homework: Microphone homework, was checked. lost the vi :(

Day 20 - labview D5 Microphone data

We started the dam with an exercie getting microphone data. We had to connect to Labquest mini and create filters and graphs in Labview to get selected range.
Picture below.

Microphone Vi

Conclusion: Learned how to connect microphone to LabQuest mini and create the appropriate labview Vi to read and graph sound data.

Homwork:

Day 19 - labview D4, Debugging and More on Case

We learned how to use debugging features in Labview. We also went over more Case structure stuff.

Conclusion: Went over case structure and learned how to use debugging.Using logic, booliean and following math operations to correctly debug.
