Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

Previous chapters have brought us to the point where, given a system design, we can look at it every which way, analyze and specify its performance, and communicate its structure and behavior. This ...

Your quad-copter is hovering nicely 100 feet north of you, its camera pointed exactly on target. The hover is doing so well all the RC transmitter controls are in the neutral position. The wind picks ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...
