Building a DC Motor Speed Controller
Dec 10th
On the 3rd of December, we had organized another workshop on how to build a DC Motor Speed Controller. The workshop was well-received as lots of participants took part.
The workshop was conducted by the Research and Skills Development Unit (SDU) of Robotics Club. Instructor of the day was the Head of SDU, Mr. Tan Wei Lip and our Myanmar robot enthusiast , KT Aye.
It was a very beneficial workshop as all the participants were given detailed explanations on the basic function of a DC motor driver which they are using the IC555 Timer to operate with. Besides that, participants were also taught about the basic operation of BJT Transistor to work with a DC Motor. Not to forget during this workshop, participants were given tips and tricks on how to control the motor speed.
RCW 2009 Appreciation Dinner
Dec 8th
Robotics Challenge Week 2009 had successfully came to an end some time ago. As a sign of gratitude, an appreciation dinner was held for all the committee members who have given their fullest commitment to RCW 2009. Without their hard work, RCW would not be a great success. Around of applause to all of them!
The appreciation dinner was held at Plaza Siswa on the 3oth of November. All committees were served with delicious Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Cries of joy and laughter could be heard around the canteen as committee members dig in on the fried chicken and coleslaw. It had been a long time since all committee members last met. Therefore, the appreciation dinner was kind of like a small gathering for all us. We got to chit chat, reminisce on past event and share our current life happenings. Ah.. the good old times.
