*5.3.1 Lab setup and design*

The station design is based on an open architecture. It is designed to give students access to all potential avenues for learning and experimenting. The lab resource materials (designs, schematics, code) are all provided to the students. Documentation aside, students are also given access to as many elements on the learning station of the system as possible. There are oscilloscope probe points on the station to allow the students to view the trace of various signals as well as given control over many other aspects of the station. They can easily control the motor speed, explore all the signals of the system (even if they are not related to the lab). They can view the output of the encoder and view signal from the vibration sensor.
