Ball & Beam | PID Mechanical Mockup

University project for Proportional–integral–derivative controllers class.


Give the ball a push and the system will automatically regulate the beam to stabilize its position.

The real-time position is rendered in a Labview graph.

Tools:

  • labVIEW (National Instruments)
  • Arduino
  • Ultrasonic Transducer
  • Servo Motor
