The diploma thesis describes the start-up and operation of the Ball on plate system with an Arduino Uno microcontroller and a smart pixy camera. The purpose of the diploma thesis is to present the operation of the PID-controller, which is often used in automation, on a learning model such as the Ball on plate system. Ball on plate system is a system that regulates the position of the ball by tipping the surface on which the ball is.
At the beginning of the thesis, the theoretical background of PID-regulation is presented, followed by a presentation of all used equipment and devices. The main part of the diploma thesis presents two different program codes for the implementation of PID-regulation with Arduino Uno microcontroller, namely program code with already prepared functions for the implementation of PID-regulation and program code with PID-controller function, which I wrote myself. The process of specifying the parameters of PID-controller using the setup rules for integrated systems is also described. The responses of the system with regulation are also described. In the conclusion, the properties of the system are summarized and possible weaknesses and improvements of the system are given.
