Nástroje pro podporu návrhu řídicích aplikací pro výuku a prototypování

Abstract

Control systems engineering plays a crucial role in the rapid development of human technology, hence the demand for more user friendly and open-source tools for systems design is significantly growing. PysimCoder is a Rapid Prototyping Control application, which can be used to graphically design control systems schematics for the purpose of generating real time code for different targets. Its main advantages are that it is freely available, open source, and it supports both NuttX RTOS and GNU/Linux targets, all of which enhance the educational experience. The pysimCoder application is far from being mature, however the further extension of the project could be a great win for education, industry, and recreation. The main goals of this thesis will be focused on adding new features to the project, such as support of vector signals, as well as device support for the ESP32C3 (using NuttX RTOS) and Xilinx Zynq based MZ_APO education kits (using GNU/Linux). Throughout this document there will be demonstrations of each extension that was added, as well as full descriptions of the approaches used to implement them.
