10 CALCULUS, CIRCUITS, AND CODE
Like other dynamic systems, the behavior of electronic circuits can be modeled with derivatives and integrals. Or, calculus can be used in algorithms to control real-world robot behavior. In this chapter, we point to a mix of simulated and real electronics for you to try out some of the concepts we have explored to this point.
First, we show how to use the math we have learned in Chapters 8 and 9 to make calculus-based models of common circuit elements. Then, we walk through projects that will let you directly measure and play with acceleration, including building a pendulum with an accelerometer to validate the predictions for pendulum acceleration we made in Chapter 9. We have designed these projects so that ...
