This project demonstrates how to control two DC motors using position encoding and PID control. The implementation is step-by-step, with several test files included to ensure functionality along the way. The main code files for the project are attached in this repository.
I have created a YouTube video demonstrating the DC motor control using PID. Watch the video for a detailed explanation and live demonstration of the project.
The project is designed to control two DC motors with precision using PID control. The key features include:
- Position Encoding: Tracking the position of the motors for accurate control.
- PID Control: Implementing PID algorithms to maintain desired motor positions.
- Step-by-Step Testing: Various test files are provided to verify each part of the implementation.
The following are the main code files included in this project:
- PID_control_for_2DC.ino: Main implementation file for controlling two DC motors using PID.
- encoder_testing_2dc.ino: Test file for verifying the encoder functionality with two DC motors.
- dc_motor_test_2dc.ino: Test file for basic DC motor operations.
