The Mechatronics Control Kit – A complete Controls Lab in a Single Package.

Challenges Four independent challenges provided in one Standalone Package:

1. DC motor control experiments
- P and PI speed regulation
- P, PD, PID and Lead angular position regulation.

2. Reaction Wheel Inverted Pendulum experiment
- P and PD control of the Pendulum in the stable equilibrium position
- PD with added set point correction control in the inverted unstable equilibrium position.
- Full State feedback control in the inverted unstable equilibrium position.
- Swing Up control algorithms to move the pendulum from the stable equilibrium to the unstable equilibrium

3. Pendubot inverted pendulum experiment.
- Full State feedback control at multiple equilibrium positions.
- Swing Up and balance control to the inverted equilibrium positions

4. Rotary inverted pendulum (Furuta) experiment
- Full State feedback control at multiple equilibrium positions.
- Swing Up and balance control to the inverted equilibrium positions

Description The Mechatronics Control Kit is ideal for education and research in real time control. The Kit is a standalone package that required no external accessories.

The "Mechatronics Control Kit" consists of a 24 VDC motor, Texas Instruments DSP board, PWM and optical encoders mounted on a portable base. The four attachments can be mounted independently providing a very effective, portable and challenging teaching aid.
