Abstract:
The paper introduces the development stages of a MOSFET-based controller for a DC brush motor. The main objective was to design a controller that could be integrated with the existing telemetry system, offering full configurability through an Android application. This controller aims to provide real-time analysis of data collected from the measurement system, including motor revolutions and current draw. Based on the analyzed data and the conditions set in the Android application, the controller adjusts the motor's operational characteristics accordingly. The paper provides a comprehensive description of the controller system's functioning. The proposed control system is particularly relevant in applications where minimizing energy consumption for driving a DC motor is of utmost importance.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
