Educational four-axis control moment gyroscope - Model 750 from Educational Control Products (ECP).
Link to the product web page on the producer's site
Located currently at K26 lab.
Troubles:
- the system is provided with the so-called turnkey solution, which means that besides the model itself, an amplifier and also the software was delivered.
Student projects finished with the system:
MATLAB® Controll using Real-Time Windows Target® and Humusoft Control Board
Individual Project
Krištof Pučejdl
Motivation:
- Dedicated control software provided by ECP is very outdated. It requires old 32 bit processor architecture and the user interface does not match today's standards.
- Most of the control models being used in education are controlled via MATLAB® using universal Humusoft control board. Using the same board to control different models is way more flexible and allows switching the controll PC's without need of hardware changes.
Goals:
- Find the correct setup of Humusoft board according to pin-out specification provided by ECP.
- Set up and run the RTWT® communication in MATLAB®
- Describe the input values to actuators and output values from sensors.
- Experiment with regulators and feedback control.
