Read moreMikroC is a C compiler for microcontrollers, specifically PIC microcontrollers. It is a development tool that allows you to write and compile C code for PIC microcontrollers, which can then be uploaded to the microcontroller
Read moreThe Z-transform is a mathematical transformation used in the field of digital signal processing (DSP) and discrete-time systems analysis. It is analogous to the Laplace transform in continuous-time systems analysis. The Z-transform converts a discrete-time
Read moreEtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is an Ethernet-based fieldbus system invented by Beckhoff Automation. The protocol is standardized in IEC 61158 and is suitable for both hard and soft real-time computing requirements in automation technology. The goal during development of EtherCAT was to
Read morePROFINET is an open Industrial Ethernet solution based on international standards. It is a communication protocol designed to exchange data between controllers and devices in an automation setting. It was introduced in the early 2000s
Read moreIn signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave to a sequence of “samples”. A sample is a value of the signal at a point in time and/or space; this definition
Read moreA PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) regulator is a control device allowing closed-loop regulation of an automatic system. It is the most used type of regulator in the industry and can be used to control a
Read moreStructured analysis and design technique (SADT) is a diagrammatic notation designed specifically to help people describe and understand systems. It offers building blocks to represent entities and activities, and a variety of arrows to relate boxes. These boxes and
Read moreThe Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 12 can
Read moreServomotors are generally used as a high-performance alternative to the stepper motor. Stepper motors have some inherent ability to control position, as they have built-in output steps. This often allows them to be used as an
