Anonymous Poster #1	Servo Controller Design - Software and Hardware 04/12/2013 4:30 AM
	I search information about design the software and the hardware of controllers especially servo controllers. I have several questions about this subject and I will glad if you can write your opinion and add some relevant links. A. I want to understand these things: A.1. What is developing recognition process? A.2. What are automatic tuning controller parameters? What is Automatic unit? A.3. What is developing of controller algorithms? A.4. What is controller simulation? A.5. What is writing real time code for controllers? A.6. What are servo controllers? A.7. What is adaptive control? B. I search any relevant information, website links, or your comments about these things: B.1. writing algorithms in digital control (difference equations and the analytical analysis [like Z transform and others analytical analysis]) B.2. simulation for controllers in Matlab B.3. wire (not wireless) communication between the controller and the processor B.4. operation systems that use in the controllers B.5. smart electronic board with processor that do the control on mechanics systems

	You can start with the Lyapunov stability theorem. Have fun. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words

	Use Arduino. __________________ Technology solves problems we didn't know existed, or didn't realise that they needed to be solved. Tinkering is therefore never pointless.

	You seem to have a lot on your plate... Once your simulations are working correctly, you are better off to buy real hardware with basic software to test your concept because developing those from scratch will take years... There are a few platform out there that can run your Simulink code almost directly. You have the choice of different "hardware in the loop" topologies. Here are some examples: http://www.google.ca/search?q=hardware+in+the+loop&hl=en&rlz=1R2ADRA_enCA427&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=I1xpUaiZIabC4AOA_4CIBA&sqi=2&ved=0CEEQsAQ&biw=836&bih=411 But once you want a sell able product, you have less choices. You design your own or hire it done by a consultant. My employer does custom power electronics. If you are interested, contact me directly by clicking on my name and leaving a personal message. Have fun. __________________ Experienced is earned, common sense is taught, both are rare essentials of life.

	My opinion is you should write you're opinion on here. People are more willing to help if you put some effort in yourself. __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	From the broad array of questions asked, I thought my Lyapunov link was a helpful answer. One chapter of a Caltech robotics class book textbook should answer the questions. That is with a little effort by the reader. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words
