Programming for Mechatronics Laboratory

Catalog description

This is a laboratory course designed to complement the intermediate programming for mechatronics also covered in MTRE 2710. This intermediate programming course covers programming topics relevant for Mechatronics Engineering, using tools such as C++, Arduino, and Python. Object-oriented programming techniques are introduced such as encapsulation, classes, inheritance, and operator overloading. Other course components include basic numerical methods and visualization of data in two and three dimensions. Laboratory exercises focus on programming relevant to mechatronics such as acquiring analog, digital, and camera sensor data, motor control, pneumatics, etc.
