The space features various exhibits that prospective clients can interact with to learn more about Google\u2019s offerings.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Global Exhibit is an nine-foot tall, free-standing globe that shows off the world-wide locations of Google\u2019s data centers. A user can manipulate the globe in real time by selecting locations on a touchscreen map. The actual globe tilts and rotates to present the user with the location selected.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Role<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I designed motor control and sensor algorithms used in homing and tilting\/rotating the globe to target locations. I wrote code in node.js to communicate between the front end and the motor controllers as well as to and from various sensors. I also designed and installed all power distribution and safety feature wiring, including a 3-phase to single-phase conversion panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
