4. System Setup
See Section 4.1 for instructions on how to to put the ball and beam plant together. Then, go through the
calibration procedure in Section 4.2 before performing the laboratory.
4.1. Assembly
Follow this procedure to setup the Ball and Beam module for experimental use:
1. Before beginning, ensure the SRV02 is setup in the high-gear configuration as detailed in
Reference [2].
2. Lay the calibration base, component #11 in Figure 2, flat on a table surface.
3. As pictured in Figure 5, place the SRV02 on its side such that the potentiometer gear fits into
the cut-out section of the calibration base. Notice that the top gear of the SRV02 should be the
small 24-tooth motor pinion gear.

4. Fasten the coupling screw, component #3, into the screw hole of the large 120-tooth load gear
as depicted in Figure 5.
5. Place the support base of the ball and beam, component #8 into the cut-out section of the base,
as pictured in Figure 2.
