myRIO Balancing Robot - Control Algorithm

Overview

You will find here an overview of the possible ways to implement a PID controller offered by LabVIEW. This is certainly not exhaustive but it already gives a mean to compare the different options.

1. Tutorial

You will find the overview per se in the following document: Overview of Control Implementation Option.ppt

2. Hardware

To test the different options yourself, you will need the device NI ELVIS  II and the Quanser QNET DC Motor Board.

3. Software

As you probably already guessed, you will need to have LabVIEW installed with the DAQmx driver, the "Control Design and Simulation" Module and the "Mathscript RT" Module for LabVIEW. Optionnaly, you could also need a C++ editor and compiler.

4. Conclusion

Enjoy!
