Abstract
Digital control deals with forming a control action to achieve the required performance criteria for the system at hand. Arm® Cortex™-M microcontrollers can be used to realize the control action in software form for this purpose. Therefore, we will introduce digital control topics in this chapter. To do so, we will start with transfer function-based control. More specifically, we will cover the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. We picked this controller due to its popularity and ease of use. Next, we will focus on implementing PID controllers in software form via C, C++, and MicroPython languages. Finally, we will apply these techniques to control a DC motor. Hence, we will provide an actual digital control application via Arm® Cortex™-M microcontrollers. We should mention that the coverage of digital control topics will be at the introductory level in this chapter. Therefore, the reader should consult more advanced books on digital control to grasp this important topic better.
