Abstract

A low-cost real-time two-dimensional PC-based ball tracking and control laboratory system is developed to teach real-time control system development with a real physical system instead of computer simulation. The system can be used for a single-student or a two-student competition for the best control algorithm. Training can be given on pattern recognition, modelling, stepper motor control, control strategies and other aspects.
