IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, Venue : IEEE Madras Section on 30th

Oct 2014, Room

No.3, ISTE Professional Centre, Gandhi Mandapam Road, Chennai – 25

The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society’s (RAS) objectives are to promote and impart

knowledge to the scientific, literary and educational activities pertains to UG courses. Industries tie-

up activities with OEMs for the project design implementation to the education institutes was

focused during this workshop. RAS organized a technical workshop, intent to teach the concepts of

embedded system and hands on training on 30th

October 2014 (09.30 – 17.00 Hrs.).

Workshop was inaugurated by Dr P A Manoharan, Chairman (RAS), IEEE Madras chapter at 09.30

Hrs., followed with the introduction about the workshop by Dr. Jonathan Joshi, Chief Executive

Officer, Eduvance (Vanmat Tech. Pvt. Ltd.), and the key note address was delivered by Shri. H R

Mohan, Chairman, IEEE CS & President, CSI.

The lecture session was presented by Dr. Jonathan Joshi, Chief Executive Officer, Eduvance

(Vanmat Tech. Pvt. Ltd.) and the hands-on training was supported by Dr P A Manoharan.

During this workshop the fundamentals of Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) & its

configuration towards the designing of PWM generator and a data logger was well explained to the

participants. Design Implementation of Data logger concepts using on chip programmable Analog

to Digital Converter (ADC) was also explained. Candidates have learned the use of PSoC Creator

IDE and embed the program on chip.

Six colleges were enrolled in a batch of five students and one faculty to attend this workshop

program namely 1. JPR College of Engineering, 2. Dhanalakshmi Engineering, 3. Sairam

Engineering College, 4. St.Joseph's College of Engineering, 5. Hindustan University and 6. MGR

University.

It was assessed based on their interest towards the lab set up and the faculty’s participations during

the workshop. PSoC4 Development Kit hardware of 18 Nos., were donated to 1. Dhanalakshmi

Engineering, 2. Hindustan University and 3. MGR University for the embedded system lab setup in

their campus.

Workshop titled “Concepts and Design of PWM Controller and Data Logger Using

Embedded System” was organized by RAS, Chennai on 11th

Workshop on “Concepts and design of PWM controller and Data logger using Embedded

System”

The IEEE Madras section has organized a one day workshop on 22nd September 2014. The

workshop was inaugurated by Dr.Jonathan Joshi, Chief Executive Officer , Eduvance (Vanmat

Tech. Pvt. Ltd.), Dr. P. A. Manoharan Chair(RAS), IEEE Madras Section. Mr.K. Kalaiyarasu,

IEEE Student member, welcomed the gathering and Dr.K.Kaliannan, principal KSRCE , delivered

the presidential address. Around 90 students (including UG students and PG scholars) attended the

workshop.

The objective of this workshop is to allow the participants to explore the fundamentals in

Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) and its applications towards designing a PWM

generator and a data logger. The PWM generator will be implemented using the on-chip

PWM module, whereas the data logger would be implemented using the on chip programmable

Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). Candidates have learnt the use of the PSoC Creator IDE and

configuration of the components on chip. He also shared information about design of PWM

controller and data logger using Embedded System. All the participants felt that the workshop was

very useful and effective.

At the end of the workshop, SB chairperson Mr.S. Kannan, delivered the vote of thanks.

RAS organized a workshop on “embedded system”, at IEEE Madras section office on 30th

Oct

2014. H R Mohan and KV Rupchand were participated.
