It’s always good to plan for tomorrow—whether it’s as simple as a new recipe for dinner or a major life event like retirement. That’s why we here at New Eagle are preparing for the next generation of engineers today.
With our all-new Raptor Academic Platform and end-to-end solution for acceleration embedded Model-Based Design (eMBD™), we’re excited to empower tomorrow’s engineers starting now. Read on to learn more about the platform and its core features, not to mention the top five benefits you’ll experience.
What Is the Raptor Academic Platform?
The Raptor Academic Platform is a complete solution for learning control applications, featuring a fully integrated embedded control hardware kit, Raptor embedded Model-Based Design Software, and a comprehensive course curriculum.
This industry-grade embedded systems solution is designed for hands-on learning, research, and real-world engineering applications. Universities and technical institutions alike can utilize New Eagle’s advanced all-in-one platform to teach embedded controls, automotive systems, and industrial automation.
The platform includes a rugged, portable enclosure with a fully integrated embedded control system, so students and researchers alike can enjoy an interactive, real-world engineering experience. Here are a few of the core features included in the platform:
- Embedded Controller. New Eagle’s RCM112 is an industry-grade real-time control module with CAN, LIN, and advanced I/O capabilities.
- Drive-by-Wire Simulation. Students get hands-on electrified vehicle (EV) drivetrain training with torque control and motor feedback.
- Sensor and Actuator Integration. The platform includes a thermocouple, a motor encoder, RGB LED status indicators, and high-power output control.
- Safety-Focused Design. With an integrated thermal system, power shutoff switch, and status indicators, the platform is safe and ready for lab use.
- Plug-and-Play Functionality. Our pre-configured software allows students to experiment, modify, and deploy real-time control applications.
