Hi. I'm not really finished, but I work!
For now, you can copy and run the following Python script, and follow along with the explanatory writeup from the Matlab version while it runs. In addition to Python, you will need to have installed the packages numpy, scipy, and matplotlib.
To Do
- Make the "ideal" part work more like the "sim" part, with the plot=True or False parameter
- Link to numpy, scipy, matplotlib
- Test on 309 lab computers and Athena
- This code was written before TECs were included in the lab, which is why it includes only passive cooling and not forced heating. Add forced heating. If I finish making the heating control circuit work with the H-bridge, also add forced cooling.
Code
