2 DOF Ball Balancer PID Control Demo
Friday, March 20, 2020
This 2 DOF Ball Balancer experiment demonstrates how a camera can be used to measure X-Y position of a ball on a flat surface and then use these measurements to stabilize the ball to a desired position on the balance plate. In this example, we are using a Proportional-Derivative (PD) control but you can add the Integral control for a full PID control loop.
