Product Requirements
• Overall
– Power supply to power the system
– Hub and spindle assembly to simulate the actual
spinning of the rotor
– Custom made rotor with metal arranged for the
most effective result
– Brake pedal to simulate the real environment
– Three electromagnets to generate braking force
Design Description
Programming
– Voltage reading by ADC
– ADC by convert()
function
– ON and OFF state by
setbit() and clrbit()
– Generate delay by
generate_delay()
function
Conclusions
Project was completed on schedule and
within budget thanks to donations
• Supplier issues caused the purchase of
weaker magnets than intended for design
• Good results with current design, a larger
budget would improve performance
• The project proves the theory and shows the
potential for a full functional system
