In this lecture, you will learn to sketch free-body and kinetic diagrams of a simple pendulum. Furthermore, you will learn to develop the equation of …
In this post, we explain how to connect a low-cost incremental rotary encoder (LPD3806-600BM) to a Raspberry Pi microcontroller. We provide detailed instructions with a …
In this post, we explain how to discretize and implement a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), controller. To demonstrate the PID controller implementation, we use a …
In this post, we introduce an important numerical tool for analyzing and designing control systems. The name of this numerical tool is the Laplace transform. …
In this post, we provide an introduction to state-space models and explain how to simulate linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the Python programming language. …
In this post, we explain how to model a DC motor and to simulate control input and disturbance responses of such a motor using MATLAB’s …
In this post, we consider the problems of calibration and noise reduction of distance sensors. In particular, we consider the class of InfraRed (IR) distance …
This post is the first post in a series of posts on the basic principles of machine learning and Phyton machine learning libraries. In this …
In this post, we introduce frequency responses of linear systems and provide a brief introduction to Fourier series. Most importantly, we perform a real physical …
In this post, we present a simple experimental setup for estimating the gravitational acceleration constant. The gravitational acceleration is estimated using a least-squares method. The …
