Designing and constructing a ball on beam balancer control system using fpga

---

The purpose of this project is to implement control system using FPGA development board kit. The aims of the control system in this project are to position the ball anywhere a long beam accurately and keep the ball on the reference position despite any disturbance. This project has a servo motor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, and a FPGA development board kit. The position of the ball will be measured continuously by an ultrasonic sensor, which is located at one end of beam. The signals which are generated by ultrasonic distance sensor will be transmitted to FPGA development board kit. The tilting angle of the beam will be measured by an accelerometer which is embedded in FPGA development board kit. The FPGA will process the signals from the ultrasonic distance sensor and an accelerometer and later will transmit a signal which will be feed into a servo motor in order to change the tilt angle of the beam. The position of the ball will be shown in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a PC. The operator can also define where the reference position of the ball on the beam by entering it on the GUI.
