Where to start my education? (Need robotics for MSc and PhD chemistry)

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I am about to finish my honours year in chemistry. However I have decided that I want to design a robotic system that uses microfluidics for my masters and doctorate degree. I know some basic electronics can read circuits build amps etc. Also I have been playing with Arduino's. I have recently started to learn some python also, to have some ability to communicate with mechanical entities. My question is what would be the best route to take to get a working knowledge of robotics and programming? The system should contain a auto-sampler stepper motor that drives the pumps and a Peltier heat source. All of the latter should be adjustable. Would also like to write a GUI to simplify everything for an end user.

Your opinion would be much appreciated.

    Hi Martin, There are lots of options for you to consider as you go forward. I would suggest that you use the Cypress Semiconductor PSOC 4. They have a great free IDE plus you get programmable hardware…

    Just yesterday my buddy was wondering why most hallucinogens are sympathomimetic-like as well.  Think you might be able to make any progress there, instead?  He has high blood pressure, so he can't. . .  Anyway, on separate occasions over a half-decade ago, a friend and I took really low doses (of Benzos) once to combat muscle cramps because we were (over)doing construction work.  Never had a sensation of waking up from it ever since, either of us.  Also, being on these meds seems to alter the character of some types of nasty people.  They aren't that inhibited to begin with, and benzos seem to break the last bond, fear of retaliation.

     

    Anti-inflammatories or mitochondrial-enhancement meds just seems like happier work.  World needs those.

     

    My profoundly inexpert opinion, 'zall.
