Description

Qube-Servo 3 comes with a quick-connect inertia disk and an inverted pendulum module. You can also design and 3D print your own module to expand the scope of the experiment or create an engaging student project. Take advantage of the comprehensive ABET-aligned course material for MATLAB® Simulink®, or design and validate your own controllers. With additional language support in Python and C/C++, new features include the ability to disable deadband compensation to directly model and control the DC motor.
