Description

The STEVAL-EDUKIT01 is designed to represent a complex, non-linear and unstable

oscillator for university-level robotics projects. It consists of a transparent structure

holding a free-swinging pendulum, whose movement has to be stabilized by a

stepper motor with feedback from a high performance rotary encoder reading the

pendulum angle.

The STSW-EDUKIT01 firmware includes critical, high-speed algorithms that interpret

encoder data and allow the stepper motor to counter the movement of the pendulum

so that it remains vertical.

The educational set, with real-time Matlab viewer and interface, helps you build your

understanding of ARM-based embedded architecture (STM32CubeIDE), stepper

motor control and real-time systems based on proportional, integral, derivative (PID)

control, as well as more advanced techniques such as State Space or State Space

with linear quadratic regulator (LQR).

A further set of open source tutorials and training material is at your complete

disposal at www.st.com/motorcontrol-edu.
