dSPACE DS1103 Control Workstation: Timeline

Schedule for Completion

As of the end of the Fall 2008 semester, the primary research for this project was nearly completed. Most of the Spring 2009 semester was spent applying what has been learned by designing a controller to control the speed of a DC motor and implementing it using the DS1103 Board. The proposed schedule for the Spring 2009 semester is shown in the Table below along with dates the activities were completed.
