Lab 3 - Fixed-point implementation of a DC-servo controller

Responsible: Claudio Mandrioli

Material

All the material needed for the lab is contained in this zip file.

The simulink model requires Matlab 2019a or a more recent version, make sure your installation is compliant (you can download it here, include Simulink and the Contro Systems Toolbox in the installation).

Content:

• lab_manual: fully read it carefully,
• initialize.m: initialization script for the simulink model,
• lab3.slx: simulink model for the DC servo control loop,
• include directory: contains C header files, you wont need to do anything with it,
• src directory: this directory contains the C files with the functions you will have to implement.

General Information

• This lab is a simulated version of the DC servo embedded control.
• Two submissions are allowed. Submission deadlines are written below.
• Submit in canvas (see assignments) only the 4 .c files with your controllers.
• find help on piazza (discuss high level concepts rather than ask for solutions to the lab questions), or you can contact the lab responsible claudio.mandrioli@control.lth.se 
• a FAQ is also posted on piazza

Timetable

The deadlines are a conservative limit, you are encouraged to submit your solutions before. Correction and feedback will be provided as soon as possible.
