Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a project idea related to electrical/control perhaps. I cant think of too much unfortunately, since TV washed away my imagination I guess. Plus I don't want to spend too much and make something way too complicated. This project is for school and I have around 4-6mths on my spare time months to complete it. Some projects that some students I know have done...are an elevator, or wind-powered generator that pumps water too, or Paralleling a Synchronous Generator, and so on. At school there are PLC's( I think PLC5 and the PLC5000) that we can use, Allen Bradly AC drive control., Power Flex AC motor controller, Iv used the Motorola 68hc11e9 microcontroller for ADC C code apps. or maybe PWM(not really a coding kind of guy though), and will work on variable speed drives later on.
Anyway, I was hoping for some suggestions.
I saw some PWM DC motor schematics that maybe might come useful.
What do you think?
One of my ideas was to maybe make a unit that navigates itself in a room from obstacles through infrared or bounce switches... also perhaps it would have an air filter unit mounted so it filters the air wherever it goes, or perhaps it can also be an air heater, so different parts of the room get heat distributed evenly. You think thats possible or too much work?
