Mechatronics for the Evil Genius

摘要

The popular evil genius format provides hobbyists with a fun and inexpensive way to learn Mechatronics (the merger of electronics and mechanics) via 25 complete projects. Projects include: mechanical race car, combat robot, ionic motor, electromagnet, robotic arm, light beam remote control, and more Includes parts lists and tool bin for each project Covers all the preparation needed to begin building, such as how to solder, how to recognize components and diagrams, how to read a schematic, etc. Table of contents ABOUT THE AUTHOR PREFACE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Section One: Preparing the Reader Section Two: The Technology Used in the Projects Section Three: The Projects Project 1 -- Mechatronic Race Car Project 2 -- RoboCom: A Combat Robot Project 3 -- Using a PWM Motor Control Project 4 -- Ionic Motor Project 5 -- Experimental Galvanometer Project 6 -- Experimenting with Electromagnets Project 7 -- Electronic Potentiometer Project 8 -- Experiments with Eolic Generators Project 9 -- Electronic Cannon Project 10 -- Experiments with Lissajous Figures Generated by a Laser Project 11 -- Analog Computer Project 12 -- Touch-Controlled Motor Project 13 -- Mechatronic Elevator Project 14 -- Stepper Motor Control Project 15 -- Magic Motion Machine Project 16 -- Test Your Nerves Project 17 -- Robot with Sensors Project 18 -- SMA Experimental Robotic Arm Project 19 -- Position Sensor Project 20 -- Light-Beam Remote Control Project 21 -- Mechatronic Airboat Project 22 -- Coin Tosser Project 23 -- The Challenge of the Mechatronic Timer Project 24 -- Experimental PLC Project 25 -- The Mechatronic Talking Head
