Abstract :
A step-by-step program learning scheme to study mechatronics is presented in this paper. We are developing a small electric vehicle development kit for solar energy education courses. The scheme was applied to develop the control program for ultra-small electric vehicles using small rechargeable batteries. This paper will present the learning scheme and the application results to a small electric vehicle.
