Filling this gap, Rico Picone, Joseph Garbini, and Cameron Devine provide mechanical engineers and engineering students with a comprehensive introduction to real-time computing that integrates theory and application. The book presents the key ideas required to realize mechatronic systems that include real-time computers as functional components. Learning is organized around a sequence of nine hands-on laboratory exercises. Topics include scheduling, interrupts, timing, real-time operating systems, computer hardware, C programming, device drivers, algorithms, digital electronics, communication, amplifiers, encoders, finite state machines, discrete dynamic systems, and digital feedback control. Leading readers through the process of designing and implementing real-time systems while applying the architecture and resources of a modern real-time development environment, this text provides an essential foundation that can be implemented and extended throughout an engineering career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe first real-time computing textbook designed for mechanical engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers hands-on instruction in the design and programming of real-time mechatronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces fundamental computing and programing topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed coverage of user interaction, real-time program organization, timing control, and interface hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students as well as for self-study\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e0 Getting Started\u003cbr\u003e1 Real-Time Computing Fundamentals\u003cbr\u003e2 Efficient Design and Programming the Mid-Level UI\u003cbr\u003e3 Digital Communication, Signals, and Programming the Low-Level UI\u003cbr\u003e4 Motor Control, Finite-State Machines, and Waiting for Real-Time\u003cbr\u003e5 RT Scheduling with Threads and Interrupts, Digital Circuits, and\u003cbr\u003eMechanical Switches\u003cbr\u003e6 Digital Realization of Dynamic Systems\u003cbr\u003e7 Closed-Loop Motor Velocity Control with a Digital Controller\u003cbr\u003e8 PID Motor Position Control and Path Planning\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cb\u003eRico A.
