Undergraduate Thesis

Design and Implementation of Server Based Position and Angle Measurement and Control of DC Motor

View Full Thesis

The undergraduate thesis project focuses on developing a server-based system to accurately measure and control the position and angle of a DC motor. The research involves hardware schematic design, user interface development, JSON data parsing for calculations, and real-time communication between the server and the machine.

Created a Python (Flask) based receiving and processing server to handle data from the motor controller. The server effectively processed incoming data, providing accurate position and angle measurements. Notably, the system allowed dynamic adjustments to be made to these values, enabling real-time control and interaction with the motor controller.
