Hi, I have a lawn mower engine and I need to read and adjust its rpm precisely. I am totally lost. I would like to ask how some of you would approach this problem. What I have right now is I am going to buy an Arduino circuit board controller. Then I am going to attach a tachometer onto...

Oh okay so they are pretty much already assembled computers. Let's say I have a temperature sensor connected to my computer and i want to control the temperature in the room with a heater, also connected to my pc. Would I have to write a computer program and hook up my heater or would I have...

Hello all, I am a Mechanical Engineering junior and I just finished with my first control systems class. I have found the class to be really interesting but it was all theory. I forgot to ask the professor before I left for summer, how do you actually build controllers? I understand how to...

Sorry I forgot to add a picture of the crank

Homework Statement I have a design problem where I have to design a crank rocker and find all the angles. I have already chosen my sides. The crank will move in increments of 30* up until 360. Homework Equations **Please see the attachments The Attempt at a Solution I have plugged in my...

I'm sorry, in my real code I had commas. I am just confused as to why garbage values print out.

Hi, I am new to programming, but I think this is a simple error. For my programming code I am trying to pass a variable from a certain class to another class. The code is similar to below.Class 1 #include "class2" Class2 class var1=1 var2=2 class.acceptingvariablesfrom1(var1 var2)...

Yeah that is exactly what I was looking for. However, I think I have found my error. I believe I need to do my cout statements inside of my matheq function. I did that and it worked. Thank you though Mark for responding!

Below is a sample code. My professor starts code and we have to finish the code. Below is not the assignment but a sample I have written up to help my question. I have two .cpp files one named main the other named func1. Within func1 I have a function called matheq. I was just wondering if there...

oh I totally forgot about substitution. Thank you!

Homework Statement http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4601/54510849.png The Attempt at a Solution I separated the partial derivatives. However I do not know how to solve a linear function with a raised power. I know that I will have to solve for (0,0) and another answer. Yet, I just do...

Thank you very much. I removed the battery positive and it worked. I think the reference direction is down so I think I'm good. Thank you again, this helped me out greatly.

1. My Attempt I need to convert the book problem of a circuit with a voltage controlled current source with one in PSPICE. I am attaching a picture which shows my attempt. I think I have it wrong but it might be right. So if someone with knowledge in EE and PSPICE could help me it would be...

ok thank you Astronuc, I'm new to my college physics classes and some easy things stump me!SOLVED

So I should take the difference of distance between the two positions. That gets me 12. Should I then make a triangle and use .12m as my hypotenuse and 1m as my other side and just take the tan inverse of that?
