Tired Of Burnt Fingers? Try PID Tuning The Hot Glue Gun

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

I tested Apple’s hands-free Home Key — and it’s a big upgrade

The U400 ($269.99) is the first to support Apple’s Home Key’s hands-free unlocking. This uses the U1 ultra-wideband (UWB) ...

Implementation of FPGA-based Neural Network Controller for Reducing Speed Ripple for a PMSM-driven EV using MRAS Speed Estimator

Abstract: The conventional model reference adaptive system (MRAS) employs a proportional-integral (PI) controller with a low-pass filter (LPF). However, the LPF and integrator add phase delay and DC ...

Improving Speed Regulation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using Modified Model Predictive Control With an Adaptive Second-Order Disturbance Observer

Abstract: In this study, we propose a modified model predictive control (MMPC) approach combined with an adaptive second-order disturbance observer (ASDO) for efficient speed control of permanent ...
