Abstract
This article presents a lowcost educational platform based on a DC-DC Buck Converter to implement real-time control laws for engineering students. The motivation for this work arises from what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic when students did not have access to laboratory equipment and instruments necessary for their academic development. Particularly in the subjects of electrical circuits, electronics, and control, there has been a significant drop in the development of projects. This work shows the Buck converter's modeling and design to build and program different control laws like the Proportional Integral Derivative and the Setpoint weighted PID. Real-time experiments show the performance of the DC-DC Buck converter. The control algorithms are implemented using the MatLab / Simulink programming platform under the Waijung real-time control environment and an STM32704 data acquisition card.
