Build a positioning control servo system of DC motor using Microcontroller for practical use

In the previous issue, I applied the PI control method, High-gain feedback method, and 2-degrees of freedom robust method introduced on this site to realize practical speed servo operation with MCU using the LEGO EV3 motor as a theme, and verified the characteristics of each method on an actual device. This time, as a further […]

Build a speed servo control system for DC motor using Microcontroller for practical use

So far, I have checked the characteristics of each of the LEGO EV3 motor using DC motor with step response (constant value input) of various control methods. In actual operation, the motor is not only used at a constant speed, but is also used in many applications for so-called servo operation, in which acceleration and […]

Build a robust speed control system for DC motor using Microcontroller for practical use

I will try to apply PI speed control and 2-degree of freedom robust control to a LEGO EV3L motor with an encoder attached to the load side through gears to verify their operating characteristics and effects. I would like to actively adopt these controls if they are easy to implement and effective, even for simple […]

Fundamentals of Feedback Control using Microcontroller [Extra Edition]

The inverted pendulum is a typical teaching tool of modern control theory. The information that is generally available is either too academic or too much trial-and-error, and there is not much that has been systematically verified so that even beginners can understand it. Table of contents1 Application of Modern Control Theory2 What is an inverted […]

Fundamentals of Feedback Control using Microcontroller [Advanced]

In "Fundamentals of Feedback Control using Microcontroller [Application]" I explained PID control, which is used in practice based on classical control theory. PID control is easy to use in the field when the model to be controlled is relatively simple, because the gain can be set sensibly. However, when the influence of parts that could […]
