Course description
You will learn mechanisms that interface a computer with the real world. You will understand principles of computers/sensors/actuators, how to construct electronic circuits to connect them, and hardware/software mechanisms to sophisticatedly control them. I would like you to also acquire the way of thinking of mechatronics.
Expected Learning
- to understand concepts of basic terms of mechatronics
- to understand sensing mechanisms of typical sensors and necessary circuits to connect them with a computer
- to understand the mechanisms of driving actuators and necessary circuits to connect them with a computer
- to be able to create a software/hardware that treats inputs/outputs from/to the real world, based on programming of a micro-controller, electronics, physical devices, etc.
Course schedule
-interfacing computers with the real world (sensor, actuator, micro-controller)
-sensors
--voltage, resistance (voltage divider or bridge circuit), current, pulse
--amplification (transistor, OP-amp), filter, comparator
--AD converter, multiplexor, matrix circuit, diode
-actuators
--amplification, inverting, H-bridge, PWM (AM, FM)
--torque
--DC motors, brushless motors, steppers, RC servo modules, fluid actuators
-electric power
--constant voltage source, transformer, AC/DC, DC/DC, rectification
-control
--P control, D, I
--position, power, pressure, sequence (time series), feed-forward
-computers
--ALU, registors, instruction set, memory, storage
--logic circuits, transistors, diodes, flip-flop
--shift, adder
-micro-controllers
--digital IO (parallel interface), AD, DA, serial communication
--timers, PWM, multiplication and division, interrupts
--reset, start-up routine, assembler, OS
Prerequisites
It is preferable to have learned Electronics I, Electronics II, Computer Programming I, and Computer Programming II.
Required Text(s) and Materials
You are going to practices using Arduino ( http://www.arduino.cc/ ), which is available via Internet or in Akihabara shops.

Arduino beginner's kit 「Arduinoをはじめようキット」
http://www.switch-science.com/products/detail.php?product_id=181
, which includes not only Arduino (micro-controller board) but also a transistor, a brightness sensor, basic elements such as resistors, and a breadboard with which you can create and test circuits without soldering,
is recommended.

Those who will take this course should buy one before May.

Though this course doesn't indicate a textbook, I recommend you to investigate various things by yourself.
There are so many technical terms and knowledge in mechatronics, and you'd better learn yourself.
