DOE

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog!! For todays blog, I would be covering a case study using Design of Experiment (DOE) and I would also share about my experience during my DOE practical. Case study   What could be simpler than making microwave popcorn? Unfortunately, as everyone who has ever made popcorn knows, it’s nearly impossible to get every kernel of corn to pop. Often a considerable number of inedible “bullets” (un-popped kernels) remain at the bottom of the bag. What causes this loss of popcorn yield? In this case study, three factors were identified: Diameter of bowls to contain the corn, 10 cm (low) and 15 cm (high) Microwaving time, 4 minutes (low) and 6 minutes (high) Power setting of microwave, 75% (low) and 100% (high) 8 runs were performed with 100 grams of corn used in every experiments and the measured variable is the amount of “bullets” formed in grams and data collected are shown below: Factor A= diameter Factor B= microwaving time Factor C= power Run order A...

Arduino Programming

  There are 4 tasks that will be explained in this page: Input devices: Interface a potentiometer analog input to maker UNO board and measure/show its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE. Interface a LDR to maker UNO board and measure/show its signal in serial monitor Arduino IDE Output devices: Interface 3 LEDs (Red, Yellow, Green) to maker UNO board and program it to perform something (fade or flash etc)​ Include the pushbutton on the MakerUno board to start/stop part 2.a. above For each of the tasks, I will describe: The program/code that I have used and explanation of the code. The code is in writable format (not an image). The sources/references that I used to write the code/program. The problems I encountered and how I fixed them. The evidence that the code/program worked in the form of video of the executed program/code. Finally, I will describe: My Learning reflection on the overall Arduino programming activities. Input devices: Interface a potentiometer analog input to ma...
