    2. Teaching Mechatronics?

    3. Try QIC! The QIC suite of development components is aimed at simplifying the development of microcontroller-based applications. By integrating several commonly used functions into one convenient package, development time is greatly simplified. The user can quickly commence development of the external interfaces and the software, rather than spend time building the base microcontroller system. Using the QIC system as a reference design can greatly reduce implementation time of your designs.The QIC suite of development components is aimed at simplifying the development of microcontroller-based applications.

    4. What is QIC? QIC is an integrated suite of development components designed to simplify embedded controller development. Hardware QIC Processor Core QIC Carrier Boards Software QIC Commander QIC Programmer Hardware The QIC Processor Core hosts the microcontroller and the associated components to facilitate communications and programming. The QIC Carrier Board hosts an array of interfaces and signal conditioning options. Several different carrier boards are available, and are suited to different applications. The QIC Carrier boards offer many useful functions integrated into one convenient package. Various accessories such as the power supply, motor drivers, encoder counters and other peripherals have been combined into one board that allows rapid development of new projects. Designed to be coupled with the QIC Core Processor boards, the two units form a standard development package for robotics, control and signal conditioning applications. Software The QIC Commander is a software package with its own communication protocol for monitoring the QIC without using the traditional terminal program. Data received from the A/D or other variables are plotted for visual analysis. The data plotted can be save for analysis using MATLAB. The QIC Programmer is the essential part of the QIC development package allowing you to download your software quickly to QIC motherboard. Unlike the traditional PIC programmer QIC programmer uses the serial port to download the program which is also used for communication.

    5. QIC Architecture

    6. Applications Mechatronics and Project Courses. Embedded Controller Development. Robotics and Machine Design. Quanser Experiments. Digital Signal Processing. Robot Competitions. The processor core and the carrier board of the QIC system form an excellent reference point for many projects such as robotics, controllers, and various signal processing applications. The outputs and next state of a Finite State Machine are combinational logic functions of their inputs and present state. The choice of next state can depend on the value of an input, leading to more complex behavior than that of counters. Finite state machines are critical for realizing the control and decision-making logic in digital -systems. (ie Vending machines) Digital Signal Processing applications. Embedded micro-controllers for robotics and machine design. Any Quanser experiment (bearing in mind the 8Kb memory limit).The processor core and the carrier board of the QIC system form an excellent reference point for many projects such as robotics, controllers, and various signal processing applications.
