1. The Temperature Control Laboratory#
The Temperature Control Laboratory provides a low-cost, hands-on learning environment for process control. The Arduino-based device comprises a two-input, two-output system of heaters and sensors.
TCLab is a Python library providing the software tools to create and test control algorithms ranging from simple step testing to sophisticated multivarible predictive control.
Temperature Control Laboratory hardware consists of five parts:
Arduino Leonardo microcontroller board with preinstalled firmware.
The Temperature Control Laboratory plug-in board (also known as a shield).
Ten watt USB power supply.
USB to 5.5mm to USB power supply cable.
USB to micro-USB data cable.
Check your kit to be sure you have all parts.
