Propeller Tilt Control

Description

In this project I wanted to apply what I had studied about control systems. I'm using an Arduino to read the value from a potentiometer which is conneted to the propeller arm. The Arduino also has a PWM output to control the power to the propeller.

Software and control

What I Learned

I learned how to design a closed-loop controller using the potentiometer as feedback position to adjust the output intensity of the propeller and achieve the desired tilt angle.

Tools and Tech Used

Arduino, C++, Simulink, Circuit design, 3D printing.
