The Task

OLLAOn-Line LAboratory


4/15

Using the mbed microcontroller suppliedconstruct a remote access on-line lab

accessed and supported by a Moodleenvironment

The lab is to have two experiment sets:

OLLIC: Instrumentation & Controland OLLFREE: experiment(s) you choose


5/15

OLLIC:

On-Line Lab Instrumentation & Control

Series of experiments to illustrate key topics,signal capture, signal conditioning, controlloop, set point, PID control

Based on a simple temperature controlled

ovenSuggested topics to include are in the full

specification


6/15

OLLIC:

The topic instrumentation & Control waschosen because it is a common

component of university programmes incomputers, electronics and appliedphysics (you will have studied it but its notyour specialism).

The level of detail should be suitable for 3rdstudents


7/15

OLLFREE:

Your free choice of experiment(s), on adifferent topic that is common in universityprogrammes: computers, electronics,applied physics using the same mbed core

as OLLIC


8/15

The Jury will expectExperimental set-up is controlled by the

mBed with require little or no humanintervention

User interface through a Moodle LMS,

(Each team has its own course site. The Jury do notexpect you to write full experiment text, outlines/notesare OK so long as your intent is clear)


9/15

The Jury will expect:Wireless and/or mobile data and control

used somewhere in your designYour design, both hardware and software,

to be inexpensive, easy to setup and

maintain and easily expanded with moreexperiment


10/15

The Jury will expect:All features of your design to make a direct

contribution to the experimental set-up, the

learning, or be associated with themanagement, maintenance, or expansion ofthe system.

A final requirement: You may use only

equipment and components supplied orapproved by the contest organisers. (You areallowed to use your own laptops and smartdevices.)


11/15
