Hardware in the loop of two rotors platform

Abstract

This study is aimed to control unstable platform by introducing control system design through low-cost test rig for two rotor system with a feedback control. The rig is used to control the bank angle by adjusting the thrust from each rotor and useful as a teaching aid in control system design. In this paper, the transfer functions of the dynamic system for the two rotor platform was derived and introduce into the controller system. Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU) was installed to provide feedback to the control system. MATLAB Simulink is used to simulate the response of the system before going to the real application while LabVIEW is used to interface the hardware interface and programmed the control system.
