The lab includes TI Development boards and Kits –ARM (Tiva Boards) for use in Microprocessors and technical elective courses. These development kits allow students to design using Tiva microcontrollers. The boards can function as either a complete evaluation target or with minor modifications as a debugger interface to any external Tiva C Series device.
Other specialized equipments in the Circuits and Electronics Laboratory includes analog/digital IC testers, breadboards, and a variety of training kits.
The department has recently acquired Keysight U3800 Series IoT training kits along with a system design applied courseware training kits. Each training kit (e.g.; U3800A-FG; Serial Number MY58380172) is constituent with the following major items:
- Sensor tag (U3800-60001)
- PCA, analog and digital temperature sensor along with relay actuator assembly U3800-60012
- ZigBee breakout board assembly (U3800-66507)
- Wire jumper male-to-female 15cm-LG (8150-6363)
- Cable, USB to micro-USB, 1m (5067-4895)
- 1819-0785GM IC flash 8GB microSD w/adapter and protected supply (1819-0785)
- China RoHS addendum for test accessories-RF and microwave (9320-6695)
The laboratory is also equipped with the following instruments:
Handheld Potentiostat/Bipotentiostat (Model 1200C Series): This is a Windows-based electrochemical instrument that has the flexibility to perform the following functions: i) Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), ii) Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), iii) Chronoamperometry (CA), iv) Chronocoulometry (CC), and v) Open Circuit Potential - Time (OCP-t).
Formlab Form 3: Form 3 from Formlab is a high-end Stereolithographic (SLA) printer that uses a laser to zap liquid resin into a solid form. This printer produces functional and high-quality prototypes and end-use parts in record time. This is powered by Low Force Stereolithography which consistently delivers presentation-ready parts with quality surface finish. After printing, it has the flexibility to detach supports in seconds with the enhanced Light Touch Support structures that save post-processing time.
Form Cure (S/N: CinerousMau): The Form Cure provides the light and heat necessary to post-cure 3D printed parts to their optimal properties. The final performance characteristics of cured photopolymer resin may vary according to the compliance with the instructions for use, application, operating conditions, material combined with, end-use, or other factors.
Form Wash (S/N: FuchsiaArowana): Form Wash automates the print washing process for consistent, thorough, no-mess cleaning. Parts can be transferred directly from the printer to Form Wash and either rinsed directly on the build platform or removed and placed in the wash basket.
All computers in the lab have MATLAB/SIMULINK and MULTISIM software packages to support course simulation requirements.
