Product catalog summary
Overview
The 1-DoF Helicopter is designed to simplify the control strategy of flight systems, providing students with hands-on experience in concepts related to quadcopters, rockets, hovercrafts, and underwater vehicles. It includes a motor-compatible electronic speed controller and a high-resolution encoder. The courseware covers key control engineering topics such as system modeling, linearization, linear control system design, and frequency response analysis. The software is fully open-source, allowing modifications and custom designs.

Creative User-Friendly GUI
The system is available in NI LabVIEW or Matlab/Simulink, enabling students to implement their own controller designs. It includes a predesigned 1-DoF Helicopter model for performance measurements and observing controller responses. The GUI features a 3D model of the system, facilitating the analysis of steady-state errors, phase differences, and amplitude ratios.

1-DOF Helicopter
This flight simulation control unit is ideal for teaching and research, providing an introduction to flight dynamics and control. It bridges the gap between industrial systems and DIY approaches, compatible with NI myRIO and Arduino for designing complex applications.

Features
  • Solid body for precise motion and measurement
