Notes on pulse-width modulation appropriate for a sophomore-level electronics or programming class
Nathan T Moore
Pulse-width modulation is a nice way to create pseudo analog outputs from a microcontroller (eg, an Arduino), which is limited to digital output signals. The quality of the analog…
Inexpensive Student-fabricated Solar Panels and Some Related Classroom Measurements
Nathan T. Moore, Carl D. Ferkinhoff
We describe a procedure in which elementary education students fabricate 3-cell, , solar panels. The panels are manufactured at a cost of…
A model for including Arduino microcontroller programming in the introductory physics lab
Andrew J. Haugen, Nathan T. Moore
The paper describes a curricular framework for introducing microcontroller programming in the University Physics lab. The approach makes use of Modeling Instruction, an effective a…
Small Oscillations via Conservation of Energy in a Simple Static Equilibrium Problem
Tia Troy, Megan Reiner, Andrew Haugen +1
The work describes an analogy-based small oscillations analysis of a standard static equilibrium lab problem. In addition to force analysis, a potential energy function for the sys…
Computational Physics and Reality: Looking for Some Overlap at the Blacksmith Shop
Nathan Moore, Nicole Schoolmeesters
The paper describes two general problems encountered in computational assignments at the introductory level. First, novice students often treat computer code as almost magic incant…
Abundance of unknots in various models of polymer loops
N. T. Moore, A. Y. Grosberg
A veritable zoo of different knots is seen in the ensemble of looped polymer chains, whether created computationally or observed in vitro. At short loop lengths, the spectrum of kn…
