The Digital Pendulum is a modern version of a classical control problem; that of erecting and balancing a free swinging pendulum in its inverted position or moving a hanging pendulum in a controlled manner.
MATLAB compatible, interface card und cables included. The required MATLAB™ license is not supplied.
Features
- Classic control problem
- Dual mode system - crane / inverted pendulum / self-erecting pendulum mode
- Ideal for Lab- and Projectwork
