2Hardware to be Used in the Book
Throughout the book, we will not only introduce digital control concepts from a theoretical perspective, we will also implement them on embedded hardware using C and Python languages. Therefore, the reader should become familiar with the hardware to be used. This chapter aims to introduce these concepts. To do so, we will assume a novice user as our target. Besides, we will cover all hardware topics as abstract as possible. Hence, they can give insight on similar platforms. As for embedded hardware, we will pick the STMicroelectronics NUCLEO-F767ZI development board (STM32 board) and STM32F767ZI microcontroller (STM32 microcontroller) on it. These are the mediums our C and Python codes for digital control will be implemented on. Afterward, we will introduce the DC motor, its driver, and related hardware to be used in examples throughout the book. Finally, we will introduce other systems and sensors which can be used in advanced applications. As all the hardware is introduced, we will be ready to use them in practical digital control applications in solving real-life problems.
2.1 The STM32 Board
Our C and Python codes for digital control will run on the STM32F767ZI microcontroller. However, we cannot use this microcontroller alone since it needs extra hardware to operate. There should be programming and debugging circuitry accompanying the microcontroller. Hence, it can be programmed easily. For these reasons, development boards emerged. These ...
