Preface
We are surrounded by systems performing specific tasks for us. There are also control systems designed to improve existing system characteristics. To do so, an input signal (possibly originating from a sensor) is acquired. The control system generates a control signal for this input. Hence, the desired system output is obtained.
The designed control system can be either in analog or digital form. Analog control systems are constructed by either electrical or mechanical elements. With the arrival of embedded systems, digital control became the new standard. Recent microcontrollers provide a cheap and powerful platform for this purpose. This book aims to introduce implementation methods and theory of digital control systems on microcontrollers via focusing on real-life issues.
Python, MicroPython (the modified form of Python to be used in embedded systems), and C will serve as the programming languages throughout the book. Python will be extensively used in explaining theoretical digital control concepts. MicroPython and C languages will be the main mediums for microcontroller based implementation. Hence, the reader will develop and implement a digital controller for a given problem.
We took an undergraduate engineering student and hobbyist as benchmark in explaining digital control concepts. Therefore, a professional engineer may also benefit from the book. We pick the STM32 board with an Arm Cortex-M microcontroller on it. Hence, the reader may find a wide variety of ...
