5.3 DESCRIPTION OF SCREEN CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS.
This screen allows you to interact with the Twin Rotor MIMO System, change the speeds
of the motors on the rotors by changing the applied voltages, and display the outputs from
the two rotary encoders, which measure angular displacements about a horizontal and a
vertical axis.
Clicking these buttons applies the maximum voltage to
the vertical axis rotor in either a counter clockwise or
clockwise direction.
Clicking these buttons applies the maximum voltage to
the horizontal axis rotor in either a counter clockwise or
clockwise direction.
Clicking these buttons stops the vertical or horizontal axis
motors.
Stops all input to the motors
Changes the base address of the PCL-812 board
Clicking on the reset encoders button sets the rotary
encoders to zero in any angular position. Subsequent
encoder outputs are then angular deviations relative to
the new set positions, and are shown in the lower part of
the screen in binary format.
Exits the program.
Motor speed/direction
Dragging the slider bar to the left or right allows the motor
speed to be varied in a clockwise or counter clockwise
direction, in a number of discrete steps.
The vertical and horizontal axis motors are each
equipped with tachogenerators. The output from the
tachogenerators is displayed immediately above the
slider bar as a speed and below it in volts.
