The article describes a design of a microcomputer system which is realized in the educational scale model control for physical principles demonstration. That particular design project was a part of the educational facility complex project called Experimentarium aiming at basic school and high school students. The article introduces two racing car models controlled by a microcomputer. The first model set demonstrates the speed and acceleration calculation based on a real time measurement. That calculation result can be compared with results obtained during a running man experiment. The second car model set demonstrates a downforce keeping the car riding the ceiling with wheels upside down. The microcomputer control system is based on microprocessors by Atmel, and the system is described in details including illustrative pictures, schematics and graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
