On Chip Rapid Control Prototyping for Education

In this note various test benches for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) targeting microcontrollers are presented. The methodology relies on a Matlab/Simulink interface which makes the target configuration and coding easier. Developing low level embedded code is bypassed by a high-level implementation which is straightforward for control system engineers. These benches are intended for students, engineers or researchers looking to validate the effectiveness of their control algorithms on low cost industrial targets.
