Abstract

DC motors are the most widely used electrical motors since their ease of use. Controlling a DC motor can be done by adjusting amount of voltage and current supplied to the motor. In this design the controlling is done using proportional integral derivative (PID) control, applied for movement in XY plane. Ziegler-Nichols method is used to determine PID constants. A Raspberry Pi is used to receive and process input from the user through a graphical user interface (GUI). The data input consists of two values, i.e. position and velocity. The GUI also shows the actual coordinate position on the screen. Two motors are controlled simultaneously by the Raspberry Pi through serial peripheral interface (SPI) with one microcontroller for each motor axis. The program contains a PID control algorithm to stabilize the motor speed. The coordination of the two stabilized motor speed is used to draw a sloping line. Sloping lines are drawn in order to determine the performance of the PID controller.
