Realization of a smart meter
Cu, Lukáš ; Mlýnek, Petr (referee) ; Lieskovan, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with the issue of smart metering, specifically electricity metering. It introduces the reader to the basic concepts associated with it and describes the technology used to implement such an electricity meter. The practical output of this work is a real smart electricity meter made of a singleboard platform Raspberry Pi 3 B, the Arduino platform and two external modules for measuring the state of electrical network. These modules are current sensor SCT-013-000 and a voltage sensor ZMPT101B. The software solution for controlling individual components and for working with the data is implemented using a combination of code created specifically for this purpose and of code from an external library belonging to Gurux company.

Arterial Puncture Simulator
Martincová, Kateřina ; Szabó, Zoltán (referee) ; Friedl, Martin (advisor)
The topic of this smestral thesis is to design arterial puncture simulator, which could be used as a device for teaching first aid. At first there are presented and described simulators available on the market. Followed by the analysis of individual components that were selected for the construction of the simulator. The control unit, which switches the bistable valve is realized by Arduino. Liquid jetting is facilitated by expansion container. The result of this thesis is design and testing of components of prototype arterial puncture simulator.

The focus control unit for the optical microscope
Flek, Petr ; Řezníček, Michal (referee) ; Adámek, Martin (advisor)
The aim of bachelor thesis was to focus on the issue of creating photos with great depth of field, which are developed on an electronically controlled optical microscope with photographic equipment. Arduino module with a series ATMega (Atmel Corporation) microcontroller, that was selected for management control device has been described in detail in the next section. Work includes the design and implementation of the control unit, which automates the process of capturing digital images from the microscope. The control unit contains a module Arduino with ATmega328 processor, which controls the stepper motor connected to focus of the JENAVERT microscope (Carl Zeiss). Device communicates with the user by buttons and LCD display.

Accelerometer-based monitoring of steering wheel angle
Navrátil, Tadeáš ; Jirgl, Miroslav (referee) ; Mihálik, Ondrej (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of a device which will be used for measuring the steering wheel angle. Main goal was to design basic concept of device which is using data gathered from three accelerometers in the reconstruction algorithm to get steering wheel angle. Discussion of various reconstruction algorithms (with regards to simulated output noise levels from acceleromater) and final Implementation of reconstruction algorithm (in MATLAB simulink enviroment) is also part of this thesis. Furthermore, thesis deals with the selection of suitable components. Mainly selection of accelerometers, microcontroller and the selection of a suitable communication bus for mutual communication between them. Thesis also deals with design improvements of algorithm and realization of the whole device. In the end, we compare results of measuring device and inner senzor of steering wheel.

Standuino
Merta, Ondřej ; Boleslavsky, Andrej (referee) ; Šedivá, Barbora (advisor)
Standuino is the inovative force in hand-made electronic music and open source hardware as well as theoretically and historically driven movement that results in artworks, bands, workshops, happenings and writings. Standuino started as a clone board of popular Arduino but adapted to even more DIY approach of eastern region (=bastl). With this powerful tool it became part of many art installations and enabled our research team to build prototypes of many different devices most importantly musical instruments. The whole concept of Standuino is inspired and covered by the story of a pioneer of media art – Standa Filip.

Inverted pendulum control
Daněk, Petr ; Němec, Zdeněk (referee) ; Marada, Tomáš (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with inverse pendulum control. There are described types of inverse pendulums, used power electronics, sensors and their connection to the MF624 control card and to external hardware. Further is described the identification of parameters, including the assembly of a custom algorithm for identification of viscous friction in the pendulum rotary coupling. For identification of moments of inertia are used 3D CAD models, where the thesis describes also use of these models for VRML visualization. The thesis also describes how to build a dynamic model by using Matlab-Simulink and the Simscape-Multibody toolbox. This model is further used in design of the controller using LQR and its simulation testing. The controller is complemented by swing-up algorithm, security elements and MF624 driver interface is designed. The control is tested on a real inverse pendulum assembly and implemented in external hardware.

USB cable tester
Fašanga, Jozef ; Hanák, Pavel (referee) ; Lattenberg, Ivo (advisor)
Measuring low resistances is a problem that also occurs with USB cables. The basic feature influencing the functionality is the voltage drop. The work deals with the theoretical possibilities of measuring low resistances and subsequent realization of connections. The ATmega32U4 microcontroller is used to control the device, which provides a USB interface for programming. Work theoretically discusses individual communications used for OLED display and ADC. Subsequently, the work discusses the design of the box for the device and the basics of the program, which is uploaded to the microcontroller.

System with Model Servos
Jablonický, Jaroslav ; Nosko, Svetozár (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
This work is focused on exploring how to control modeling servos by computers. It will also serve as an overview or a guide for beginners. The work includes the design of a simple robot, more precisely it is a simple robotic hand, but in particular it contains control designs from different platforms using different means. Finally, there are recommendations for each platform.
