The Design Technology II course is intended to give the students a real-world approach to design projects. The students are expected to design projects that are innovative, interesting, and unique by using the techniques, skills, knowledge, and experiences they have gained in the numerous disciplines that are offered in the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology Program. The objective of this undergraduate project was to control the five movements of a robotic arm using the National Instrument ELVIS II Board. The ELVIS II was chosen to act as a microcontroller in this project. The ELVIS II is a National Instrument Educational Trainer Board used to provide more hands-on-experimental skills. It is integrated and featured with 12 of the most commonly-used instruments in the laboratory, including an oscilloscope, digital multimeter, function generator, and variable power supply. When the ELVIS II Board is connected to the PC through the USB plug-and-play capabilities, the student can build a prototype circuit on this trainer and use LabView software to have various measurements displayed on the computer. To control the movement of the robot's arm, an interfaced circuit was designed using the ELVIS II Board to manipulate five motors' motions that are responsible for moving the robot in different directions. This paper explains the details of the project as well as the experiences gained by a student after completion of the project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
