This master’s thesis deals with measuring temperature inside personal computer. The main goal of this work is to develop tool which is able to measure temperatures in several places, display a store the values. Theoretical section is concentrated on selection of temperature sensor, that have suitable interface for microcontrollers and has sufficient accuracy for this application. In next part there is complete hardware and software design of instrument. Software solution is based on real-time operating system. Device is projected as a battery-operated compact tool. With created application for personal computer, measured data can be downloaded through USB and displayed in graphic format.

The aim of this work is to familiarize with the design of the thermal test chamber to measuring passive components. Show features and involvement of selected circuits that ensure reliable operation of the device. For the realization of the role are the most important the Peltier cells and temperature sensors. But they can not work without the control unit. The control unit provides the necessary communication with each component and also with user. For this purpose we made a selection of suitable type of microcontroller and communication equipment (matrix keypad, LCD, buttons and LEDs). Subsequently was designed the algorithm to control the thermostat suitable for using in students training. The algorithm was written in the microcontroller in form of a program. There is also implemented a PSD controller in the program, which evaluates the data collected by a sensor. Then set the correct function of Peltier cells. After the thermostat was designed and realized, test measurements were performed and the results were documented and evaluated.

This thesis describes the design and implementation of a building kit suitable for teaching how to work with Atmel AVR single-chip computer and its peripheral circuits. Included in the thesis are drafts of electrical schematics of each individual module of the building kit, drawings of the PCBs as well as propositions for sample tasks used in teaching this subject. These further encompass methodological and work papers. Due to it's simplicity and clarity the Bascom AVR was chosen as the programming language for all applications.

This work deals with problematics of speed measurement of an object with a Doppler radar. This radar communicates with other environment through RS232 interface. The complete solution of this Doppler radar is provided in the thesis. There are electrical schemes of all parts and program to control microcontroller in this work. Speed measurements for the radar are summarized in the end of the work.

This article describes AVR Wizard programme that was developed for AVR Studio. This software simpliefies microcontrollers (MCUs) programming in a way of general peripheries settings and registers settings for varied MCUs. AVR Wizard is able to generate C language-based MCU main programme structure with chosen settings. User-friendly handling and no longer detailed studies of MCU datasheets are also main advantage.

Mikrocontroller erfreuen sich großer Beliebtheit in Elektronik-Bastelprojekte. Unzählige Anschlüsse und Features wie Timer, Counter, AD-Wandler, ... erlauben die Umsetzung komplexer Projekte. Doch wie erfolgt die Programmierung? Der Vortrag gibt einen einführenden Überblick zu AVR Mikrokontrollern, Programmierwerkzeugen und deren Anwendung anhand von Beispielen.

Automatic voltage regulation is necessary for all power producing synchronous generators to ensure that the produced power have a constant and stable voltage level and to sustain grid stability. The aim of this thesis is to design and build an automatic voltage regulator for a synchronous generator. A six-phase permanent magnet alternator will be used to excite the rotor with solid-state relay controlled rotating bridge rectifier. The field current is regulated by a closed loop control system that is based on a programmable logic controller, PLC. Programing of the PLC is executed in the developing environment CoDeSys, IEC 61131-3, which is the international standard for programing PLC applications. Simulations for predicting the system behavior is done with a web based in-browser tool, circuitlab.com. The results show a good performance of the regulator and the closed loop system although there is room for improvement of the solid-state controlled rectifier system.

Följande rapport beskriver ett projektarbete i att ersätta en automatisk spännings regulator (AVR) till en gammal ASEA dieselgeneratoranläggning. Generatorn är installerad på M/S Calmare Nyckel som tillhör Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar. Generatoranläggningen används enbart i utbildningssyfte. Den AVR som ska ersättas är en ASEA UTWH310. Det är ett väldigt gammal anläggning och vi uppskattar att den härstammar från 60-talet. Problemet med den gamla regulatorn är att när systemet har körts en stund så är det inte längre möjligt att reglera den reaktiva effekten. Vi blev tillfrågade att ersätta det gamla systemet, därför har vi inte gjort något försök att laga det. Regulatorn matar ström till en liten DC generator, mataren, som är ansluten till den större AC generatorn med remdrift. Mataren magnetiserar sedan rotorn i AC generatorn. För att få klarhet i hur systemet fungerade så gjorde vi några testkörningar. Vi tog reda på nödvändiga parametrar för att kunna ersätta den gamla anläggningen. Eftersom vi inte hade någon tidigare erfarenhet av den här typen av projekt, så hade vi lite problem att hitta en leverantör av den nya AVR utrustningen. Som tur var kom vi i kontakt med Subtron AB, ett litet företag från Enköping. De var mycket hjälpsamma, och de hade både kunskapen och utrustningen som vi behövde. Vi beslutade oss för att beställa Leroy-Somers R 448 AVR. Det är en enkel AVR men fullt kapabel att utföra det vi efterfrågar. Vi beställde också en del kringutrustning till installationen. Efter att ha testkört den nya utrustningen och kommit fram till att den fungerade utmärkt så utfördes installationen sedan på några dagar. / This following report describes a project in replacing the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in an old ASEA diesel generator system. The generator is installed on M/S Calmare Nyckel which belongs to Kalmar Maritime Academy. The Generator system is solely used for educational purposes. The AVR that is being replaced is an ASEA UTWH310. It is a very old system and we assume its from some where around 1960. The problem with the old AVR is that when the system has been running for a while there is no longer possible to control the reactive power. We were asked to replace the old system, so not much effort has been put on trying to repair it. The AVR feeds current to a small DC generator, feeder, witch is connected by a strap drive to the larger AC generator. The feeder then excites the rotor in the AC generator. To find out how the system actually worked we made some test runs. We measured necessary variables to be able to replace the old system. Because we had no formerly experience in this type of project, we had some troubles in finding a supplier of AVR equipment. Luckily we came in contact with a small company called Subtron AB from Enköping. They were very helpful and had both the equipments and the knowledge that we needed for our project. We decided to order Leroy-Somers R 448 AVR. It is a simple but fully capable AVR to preform what we asked for. We also ordered some auxiliary equipment for the installation. After a test run with the new equipment, we found out that it worked very well. The installation process was then made in a few days.
