• Actuator Labs involving the ACE-Box (Base + Sense, Actuate)

    These actuation-focused activities require two ACE-Boxes: one ACE-Box (Base + Sense) and one ACE-Box (Actuate). They support DC motor control workflows and hardware-based actuation experiments.

    Need ACE-Box (Base + Sense) and ACE-Box (Actuate) before starting the hardware exercises?

    These actuator labs require two ACE-Boxes: one ACE-Box (Base + Sense) and one ACE-Box (Actuate). Together, they provide the sensing, control, and actuation hardware needed for the hands-on MATLAB and Simulink activities below. You can request 3D-print STL files and a parts list, book a free set-up consultation, or order the required ACE-Box hardware.
