Two Examples of Pedagogical Applications of Electrical Go-Karts

Authors introduce two different pedagogical applications concerning electrical go-karts "e-Kart" of the IUT GEII (Institut Universitaire de Technologie, Genie Electrique et Informatique Industrielle) of Tours. Since 2003, this project didn't stop growing with, in 2007, a first challenge with asynchronous low-voltage motor go-karts too. Two main projects are here introduced: the first concerns acquisition of physical data aboard go-karts and their transmission to a personal computer; the second one is about the field-oriented control (FOC) of an asynchronous 28 V motor.
