Real-time fuzzy logic speed tracking controller for a DC motor using Arduino Due

Designing and developing AI controllers on separately dedicated chips have many advantages. This paper reviews the development of a real-time fuzzy logic controller for speed control of a dc motor using Arduino Due board. The proposed fuzzy logic controller is based on Mamdani approach and has been tested on the aforementioned high performance microcontroller board and using MATLAB. During the real-time operation the dc motor behavior and the fuzzy controller´s response were plotted and the data were stored in MATLAB without interrupting the fuzzy logic controller. Based on these observed information, the system settling time and the rise time reduction were calculated for each input wave patent trajectories while increasing the wave frequency. It was noted that the system overshoot is negligible. Utilizing the aforementioned parameters the Arduino Due board performance was analyzed with the fuzzy logic speed control approaches of dc motors made by past researchers as mentioned above. The system response shows a satisfactory performance for this particular dc motor application when the input signal (desired output signal) frequency is less than 2 Hz, but further research is needed when identifying the optimum performance of the Arduino Due board for different fuzzy logic algorithms while increasing the desired input signal frequency.
