Analogue and Digital in Control Systems!

Aim: To understand the requirements for control systems.


Objectives:
Know what a control system is and the main types.
Explain the characteristics of digital and analogue control systems.
Compare specific examples of analogue and digital systems.


Hello!

Over my independent study time, I went to the small optional cookery course again and made pizza. I decided to go because I would like the recipe book for when I go to university - it will come in handy.

This morning, Zoë introduced a class to a game called Sea Hero Quest. It is a game that will battle dementia, such as memory loss. The concept and plot of the game revolves around it as well as helping victims with it. It was really interesting and we did a quiz on it too. In the end, I came 2nd with 8/10 and Adam came first with 8.5/10, whereas Alex S got the least with 4. Lol. The monitor goes to... Euan, again. No one cares about the monitor. :)

Zoë then gave us all a recap on what we did on Monday. What a control system is, what it is used for and the four different types of control systems. Next, throughout the day we went through different subheadings for U24_A1T2. These were: Microcontrollers, filtering, conditioning and comparison between analogue and digital with application. 

Although I am finding no benefit in learning the current unit (personally), I am still enjoying it thoroughly - I managed to complete U24_A1T2 and stay ahead. I also took this opportunity to ask Catherine questions. One of them was about my Student Finance and the other was in regards to personal queries.

For Maths today, John had supposedly forgot to teach us (lol) so we have one Maths lesson for catch up. Since I'm done, I will attempt to help a peer or two then leave earlier for the day. 

Reflecting on today, it has been productive and not as dull as before. It must've been due to my tiredness to be honest. I have decided to start U24_A1T3 tomorrow and submit U24_A1 by then. Good bye!
