Control System Design: Getting Started with Arduino and Matlab

Description

This is the basic for those who starting to learn about control system design. The content of the book is unique in the sense that control system design can be studied through practical experience by using an inexpensive control experimental kit based on recently popular open source Arduino hardware. By purchasing a low cost experimental kit and using the contents of this book, it is possible for the reader to actually create their own controlled object with electrical circuits and mechanical structure, and experience controlling it by using their own controllers. As opposed to most conventional theory books, which only explain theory and describe the process of implementing it on an embedded system, the basics of control theory and model-based development can be learned through real experiment from this unique book. -Contents- Chapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Getting Ready Chapter 3 Using ArduinoIO Chapter 4 Motor Speed Control Chapter 5 Motor Position Control Chapter 6 Ball&Beam Experiments Chapter 7 Using Modern Control Theory Chapter 8 Run on Target Hardware A Asembly Ball & Beam Kit
