Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of control engineering with Arduino and ESP32! This
book offers you a practical introduction to classic and modern control methods including PID
controllers fuzzy logic and sliding-mode controllers. In the first part you will learn the
basics of the popular Arduino controllers such as the Arduino Uno and the ESP32 as well as
the integration of sensors for temperature and pH measurement (NTC PT100 PT1000 and pH
sensor). You will learn how to use these sensors in various projects and how to visualize data
on a Nextion TFT display. The course continues with an introduction to actuators such as MOSFET
switches H-bridges and solid-state relays which are used to control motors and actuators.
You will learn to analyze and model controlled systems including PT1 and PT2 control. The book
focuses on the implementation of fuzzy and PID controllers for controlling temperature and DC
motors. Both the Arduino Uno and the ESP32 are used. The sliding-mode controller is also
introduced. In the second-to-last chapter you will explore the basics of neural networks and
learn how machine learning can be used on an Arduino. In the last chapter there is a practical
example of a fuzzy controller for feeding electricity into the household grid. This book is the
perfect choice for engineers students and electronics engineers who want to expand their
projects with innovative control techniques.
