Reflective Essay on the engineering design project

            The essay is about the engineering design project; in this assessment, the working is on the different projects or lab. As for the engineering design, first of all, discuss the introduction of the myRIO, and then the LABVIEW for the different labs. In this first lab by using the myRIO kit on the LABVIEW, the explanation is about the discrete RGB as well as the LEDs. The MyRIO is the National Instruments (NI) has the portable reconfigurable input/output devices which are used for the designed of the mechatronics systems, robotics, as well as the control. For the students, the Ni myRIO is the embedded hardware which is designed on the base of technology and used in industry for the controls of robotics. To control the systems, the NI myRIO has the I/O pins, which is created by the using the more kit (Ni.com).  We can implement the simple to complex control algorithms like the PID and the PWM by using the myRIO. Which can communicate over the Wi-Fi to monitor the robot along with the control? To explore the different fundamental topics in engineering designs projects, students may be used the myRIO. By using the application of the myRIO, the product of electromagnetic compatibility tested. However, the mounting holes on a back of myRIO are very sensitives for the electrostatic discharges, that handling the devices and it is very careful and not to touch inside the keyholes. The use of the myriad starter kit in the first lab experiments is that it's included in the LED , where the LED provide the simple visuals for the several indicators for the error condition along with the system status. The circuit design interface depends on the DIO knowledge output resistance of sources voltage. When the NI myRIO is powered on, the power LED is on, and this LED indicates power supply, which is connected to the devices that are adequate.  During the normal operation, the status of the LED is off. When we apply the power to a device then the NI myRIO runs power to the self-test. The status, as well as power of the LED, turns on during the post operations. Through the blinking of the LED status, the NI myRIO presents the specific error with a certain number of times in every few seconds run the robot automatically deploys the programs in NI myRIO device. With all the sensor and actuators in this kit, use the motor board interface (mindtools).

            Now in the 2nd lab, the introduction is about the myRIO and the LABVIEW along with the photocells. In the LabVIEW, we learnt the outputs with the NI myRIO digital output express and know to access all the available digital outputs such as single outputs, connector type as well as multiple outputs. And the objective of this experiment is that the photocell has two terminal which is fabricated for the Cadmium sulfide plus the resistance which is changes by the illumination in a visible spectrum of 400 to 700nm. In the photocell circuit, the interface needs the three connection for the NI myRIO connectors. The software we use is LabVIEW. In the LabVIEW software charts and graphs are visualize through the data by the NI LabVIEW software.  And in the LABVIEW, its measure the resistances approximately 10k by the ohmmeter (Doering). In the next experiment which we perform is that Pitsco Tetrix Robot and construction of the Rover vehicle with the help of the myRIO device and also with the help of LabVIEW software.The fun starting point is the Pitsco Tetrix Robot vehicles, which are versatile and has the variety of the robotics design projects along with the mechatronics. The ground vehicle which is controlled through the myRIO along with its equipped by the sensors plus the motors. To build the Pitsco Tetrix Robot, the start is provided through the simulations of code. And it allows the teleoperation where the rover travels the grasp projects by its effectors along with the pincers. Then the functions of the Pitsco Tetrix Robot use the various forms of the algorithms and the complete task. Different experiment like IR range sensors, Gyroscope sensor, and ambient light sensor are performed with the help of the myRIO kit and the LabVIEW software. To control the positions of the Pitsco Tetrix Robot, implement the algorithm of the closed as well as an open loop in the LABVIEW. To avoid the grasp as well as objects, write the code in the LABVIEW, then use the IR sensor to detect the different objects.

                In the experiments of the Gyroscope sensors, along with the ambient light sensors, for the myRIO controller on the board test of infrared. In this lab experiment the use of the LABVIEW is for the dataflow of a model for the sequential lines of texts, and empowers the code to writes the different functions of code by using the visual; layouts which resemble the thought process. For the coding process, use the function blocks by the wire of the transfer data form the function to the functions. On the front panel, you can create the code which allows the visibility of data for the design systems and permits the user to interact by the program. In the myRIO kit, use the LABVIEW to run the program like the control algorithm which interacts the actuators as well as the sensors to communicate by the other devices along with to implements the innovative functions like the robot have. This kit provides the sensors, motors for interfacing by the myRIO plus creating the systems of the mechatronics. The next experiment is about the controller board of myRIO along with the Test Servo of the motor, with the Encoder of DC motor. After that with the suitable MXP pin of myRIO device, kit connect one of the Spark Fun IR sensor breakouts. And also show to the advisor whether \the pin selected is correct or not. The myriad MXP is the port which contains the sets of the quadrature for the encoder of the inputs pins.

            Now the discussion is about the Belbin theory that score form the 16PF5 for the personality of questioners and its data is obtained from the sample of volunteers (Fisher and et al). To become a high performing team, every team need to access to every nine team role behaviours. Moreover, Belbin theory doesn’t mean that every team has nine members. But most of the people have two or three teams Roles that they are comfortable with, and this will change over time.

            In Victoria, the OHS act is the main system and law of safety. There are the following rule and regulations made in 2004 related to the Occupational Health as well as Safety. This law is for the safety of people that work in a workplace and also for other people. According to the OHS act as well as regulation monitor and enforce compliance. According to the OHS act and regulation monitor along with the enforce compliance. In addition to according to OHS act of 2017 provide training to the members before doing the high-risk work. As for our all lab experiments, it should take care of do the several works while the soldiering of the different components in lab experiments.
