Hi All,
I'm in the process of developing lab applications which focus on learning
Systems Engineering using the Scout and RCX programmable bricks. As an
Electronics Systems Engineer working on Automotive Electronic Body Module
Architectures, I'm always looking at electronic circuits for Input,Output
interfacing and the microcontroller that ties them together. I thought how
wonderful it would be to apply automotive electronic systems technology to
robotics. The approach in demonstrating this "AutoBot" architecture is to
explain system engineering methods and tools for designing and developing such
systems. The RCX and Scout are perfect for developing a physical I/O layer for
the AutoBots and languages like NQC, LOGO, VB/VBA are great for software
control.Structural Analysis techniques such as Decomposition allow the
system to be develop in a series of design steps starting a high level down
to the circuit/software component element of the system. Has anyone else
considered or are conducting classes at a university level using the Scout
and/or RCX to teach Systems Engineering?
