Boost Converter Board Development with LabView
Project Description
This project involves the assembly, testing, and software integration of a boost converter using a provided schematic and Bill of Materials (BOM). The student will be responsible for soldering the hardware components, conducting systematic functional tests, and ultimately developing a graphical user interface (GUI) using either LabVIEW or MATLAB to demonstrate real-time control of the converter board.
