OVERVIEW
1-DoF Helicopter has been designed to simplify the intelligent control strategy of flight systems. With the motor compatible electronic speed controller and high-resolution encoder 1-DoF Helicopter enables the student to experience the main concepts of quadcopters, rockets, hovercrafts, and underwater vehicles. Ready to use courseware enables the student to understand the main topics of control engineering such as system modeling, linearization, linear control system design and frequency response analysis. The fully open-source software gives the freedom to students and researchers to modify the algorithm or design their own structure.
CREATIVE USER-FRIENDLY GUI
Available in NI LabVIEW or Matlab / Simulink as an open source software allows students to implement their own controller designs. Predesigned 1-DoF Helicopter model and controllers are ready for performance measurements and observing responses of fundamental controller types. User-friendly GUI includes 3D model of the system. Steady-state error for standard test inputs, phase difference and amplitude ratio for sinusoidal inputs can be easily covered due to graphical demonstration for both simulated system and real system.
OPEN-SOURCE EMBEDDED SOFTWARE
1-DOF Helicopter, with its easily accessible and student-friendly components, is a hands on experiment, closing the gap between real industrial systems and DIY-approach. Compatibility of NI myRIO and Arduino enables the students to design complex applications and engineering systems quicker and easier than ever before.
