Control an electric oven with variable temperature profiles
Project Description
To design a control system to control an electric oven with variable temperature profiles. The project requires students to measure and control real time temperatures (data logging) by varying the power input to the oven using a solid state rectifier. Students will develop a control model, such as PID control, using a laptop with Matlab, Labview or C.
