This is a downstream E-Blocks peripheral module, designed to be controlled by one of the upstream E-Blocks processing boards which are available in a variety of MCU/FPGA architectures.

The DC Motor Angle Position Trainer E-Block is part of the HPACT actuators system that allows for a flexible way to learn and understand common types of mechatronic devices.

This servo motor position trainer allows the rotational position of a DC motor to be measured as used in an open-loop or closed-loop system. It provides angular measurement.

This E-Block is useful for developing control systems, e.g. PID. It works with Flowcode and Ghost Technology, which provides advanced in-circuit debugging and test features via USB (requires Ghost-compatible Upstream E-Block and a Professional version of Flowcode). The robust mechanical design of this E-Block is ideal for a lab, and its flexible circuitry allows for the use of larger external motors.

E-Blocks Overview

E-Blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.

Each E-Block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to eight input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-Blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-Blocks that need it.

Processing E-Blocks based on PIC, dsPIC, ARM or AVR microcontrollers, Altera FPGAs, Arduino or Raspberry Pi control the whole E-Blocks system. Processing E-Blocks provide up to five input/output ports with up to eight lines per port.

Please see the E-Blocks Category for a list of available components. For more details on E-Blocks, see the E-Blocks User Guide (in English, French, German and Spanish) or watch the Introduction to E-Blocks video.
