Task 2: Implement the PID Algorithm 2
Objective Write the PID controller logic using proportional, integral, and derivative terms. The controller should compute the control output based on the error between the setpoint and measured ball position.…
Task 1: Implement the Real-Time Control Loop 2
Objective Configure a fixed-interval control loop that runs deterministically. The loop should execute at a consistent sampling rate (for example, every 10 ms). All sensing, PID computation, and actuator updates…
Basic Embedded Systems 2
Real-Time Embedded Control The Ball and Beam system operates as a real-time embedded control system in which a microcontroller continuously reads the position of the ball, computes a corrective action, and commands…
Complete Project Overview 2
Introduction In this program you will model and create a robust ball and beam controller by creating an engineering model, designing control loop architecture, and deploying code on a real…
Task 4: Tune the Controller
Objective Tune the PID gains manually to achieve stable and responsive behavior. Tuning Process Step 1: Start with zeros Set Ki = 0 and Kd = 0 Start with small…
Task 3: Integrate the Motor Driver
Objective Convert the PID output into a valid actuator command that safely drives the motor or servo controlling the beam. Implementation Guidance Map the PID output to a PWM value…
Task 2: Implement the PID Algorithm
