Article Synopsis
- - Recent research focused on self-powered devices highlights their potential benefits for the Internet of Things, particularly in reducing costs, minimizing power use, and lessening environmental effects.
- - A study investigates a wireless sensor node that combines a thermoelectric generator to power itself and measure temperature gradients, specifically for improving server load management in data centers.
- - The proposed system effectively utilizes a maximum power point tracking algorithm, achieving accurate temperature gradient measurements with a maximum error of just 0.14 °C and an energy efficiency exceeding 92% when temperatures are above 13 °C.
This paper describes how to implement a low-cost didactic platform designed to teach or reinforce discrete control theory concepts. The controllers used in this work (P, PI, PD, and PID) are suitable for undergraduate students but the same platform could be used to explain and test advanced controllers to graduate students. This document shows, step by step, how to control a DC motor speed and position, along with the most common problems and its solutions, commonly overlooked in the literature.
