CControl

CControl is a library written in 100% ANSI C (C89) code. No external libraries and 100% platform independent. The purpose with this library is to fit advanced tools for really small embedded systems or desktop as well. Here I have focused on practical numerical methods and selected the methods that works best in practice. It has been a lot of work finding the best methods and best algorithms.

CLAPACK, Math Kernel Library, FFTPACK support

This library have different types of libraries. First library is the internal lightweight library that suits small embedded systems. The second library is higher lever library for larger matrices. The third library is libraries that are hardware independent. Set this as your math library inside defines.h file. The Math Kernel Library is extremely optimized and it's suitable for operative systems such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS meanwhile the lightweight library or CLAPACK and FFTPACK is suitable for an Arduino, STM32, PIC etc because they are 100% portable. The internal library is suited for really small devices.

If you want to add more, just download clapack-3.2.1.zip from Netlib and include necessary .c files inside the Lapack folder of this project, for supporting your routine.

Projects made with CControl

Fan Controller with Linear Quadratic Integral Control

I have created a controller for a fan. The controller works as it read the temperature sensor and it compare the temperature sensor with the potentiometer, which is the reference set point. If the error is large between the temperature sensor and the potentiometer, then the fan is going to turn on high, or low, depending on if the error is negative or positive.

The goal with this system is that I'm going to implement this on a heat source. The fan is going to blow warm air onto a object and the object is holding the temperature sensor. If the fan is blowing to much warm air, then the controller is going to turn down the speed of the fan so the temperature of the object meets the reference

I have been using Matavecontrol and Mataveid to estimate and creating the kalman gain matrix and the LQR control law with integral action. I'm the author of both Matavecontrol and Mataveid.

Identification process. Here I have using the Observer Kalman Filter Identification and Eigen System Realization methods.

Simulation process:

Model Predictive Integral Temperature Controller

This is a Model Predictive Controller, with integral action. It uses linear programming instead of quadratic programming for the optimization. This controller works well.

This predictive controller have a wiring diagram if you want to build the same controller for your temperature project.

Step answer of first order model.

Model Reference Adaptive CAN-bus controller

This is a MRAC project, Model Reference Adaptive Controller. This controls the a Sonceboz stepper motor with CAN-bus J1939-21 protocol. The purpose is to control a big wheel with two multivariable hydraulical valves.

See the movie in the project folder.

Square Root Uncented Kalman Filter for state estimation and parameter estimation

This is the latest Uncented Kalman Filter. MATLAB is using the same algorithm. A .m file is available at the SR-UKF folder.

For state estimation

For parameter estimation

How to use this library with Eclipse CDT

I have made so both Microsoft Visual Studio users and Eclipce CDT can use this library without conflicts. Here is a tutorial how to configure your Eclipse CDT for this repository.

1. I'd recommend Eclipse IDE for compiling this software. Eclipse IDE is a very boring IDE, but it's robust and trustable. The Eclipse IDE is always going to be available for you.

2. Once you have Eclipse IDE installed. Show Git perspective.

3. Select Git

4. Copy ssh

5. Clone git. Just press next and end with finish

6. Import project

7. Show view

8. Select Git staging

9. Every time you change a file and you want to update your repository

10. If you don't have a C-compiler, here is a video how to set up a compiler

11. Begin with your main.c file. Then go to src/CControl/Documents/Examples/ and select a .txt file and paste it into main.c file and press

12. If you got problem with push your updates to this repository, the you need to configure your authorization. See this link
