This project, part of Professor Jason Goodman's planetary physics research at Wheaton College, MA, aimed to develop a controller for a motorized turntable simulating Europa's oceanic flow. The main challenge was to create a system that could accurately achieve and maintain a specific RPM without overshooting.

Using an Arduino Uno, I implemented a PID controller algorithm similar to those used in airplane autopilot systems. After testing the model in a simulated environment and on a breadboard, I built the final circuit on an Arduino Uno chip and housed it in within a compact, user-friendly case that could easily be removed from the turntable assembly.
