QLabs Virtual QUBE-Servo 2
Quanser QLabs Virtual QUBE-Servo 2 is a fully instrumented, dynamically accurate virtual twin of a classic QUBE-Servo 2 system. The platform is compatible with the physical QUBE-Servo 2 curriculum which covers over 30.
QUBE-Servo 2
Low cost teaching platform for controls and mechatronics
The Quanser QUBE™-Servo 2 is a fully integrated, modular servomotor lab experiment designed for teaching mechatronics and control concepts at the undergraduate level.
Integrating Quanser-developed QFLEX 2 computing interface technology, QUBE-Servo 2 provides more flexibility in lab configurations, using a PC, or microcontrollers, such as NI myRIO, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With the comprehensive course materials included, you can build a state-of-the-art undergraduate teaching lab for your mechatronics or control courses, and engage students in various design and capstone projects.
