This time we will be looking into the Houston, we have a problem code in detail. This is the cRIO air jet control system that we demonstrated at the National Instruments User Group in February.

We will have a chance to really dig into the details of the program and discuss the ins and outs of FPGA and RT programming on the cRIO. You will also have a chance to program your own control algorithm for the inverted spring pendulum device. Can you stabilize it? Harder yet, can you make it hold at an arbitrary position? It may be harder than you think!

Come with your laptop, your questions, and your idea for a clever algorithm to control two air jets on a spring.

This meeting will be at Seneca5, Tuesday March 2nd at 6:30. We serve pizza, so you can come straight from work.
