Application-Led Control Engineering
ACE-Lab combines robust, low-cost ACE-Lab hardware with MATLAB and Simulink within an application-led learning philosophy that connects theory, practical experience and engineering judgement.
ACE-Lab Rigs
Robust, portable and modular hardware for developing microcontroller, electronics and measurement skills. ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) establishes the practical foundation, while ACE-Lab (Actuate) adds the actuators required for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.
ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) Develop microcontroller basics, build simple breadboard circuits and explore measurement.
ACE-Lab (Actuate) Adds actuators to ACE-Lab (Base + Sense) for complete closed-loop control-system design and testing.Event details and registrationACE-Lab Workshops
