I completed an Industrial placement at Fastblade in 2024 for my Mechanical Engineering Masters. My work was focused on the control system which commands the hydraulic system and the actuators during testing. The Software used is LabVIEW, a graphical coding programme designed for data acquisition with integrated User Interfaces. The system reads over 300 channels of sensor data which are processed, visualised and logged. During my time I integrated a second CompactRIO chassis, added hundreds of signals to the system and created data visualisation screens. I have upgraded to the logging system, allowing Fastblade to record overnight testing in the future.
