Need Help Designing a Linear Controller for Yaw Motion of a Hexacopter?

[huntflex]

Hi everyone, I am to design a linear controller for the yaw motion of a hexacopter. My professor gave me this simplified version of the motion (in picture) . However I am trying to derive it myself, but I really can't get my head around it. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Of course t_m is the time constant, not tau_m*s

Your professor just wrote a first order system which is linear. However, in order to derive a proper you need to know the equation of the yawing motion of your device. Also, you need to know the transfer function of the hexacopter itself. Then you can design the open loop system but to be honest I don't really remember controls and feedback and I don't think I can help you much :(

I agree. You have to know the equation of the yawing motion of the device as well as the transfer function of the hexacopter.

Hello,

I would suggest breaking down the problem into smaller, more manageable parts. First, make sure you have a solid understanding of the basic principles of yaw motion and how it applies to a hexacopter. Next, carefully analyze the simplified version of the motion given by your professor and identify any key equations or variables that may be relevant to your controller design. Then, try to derive the equations for yaw motion on your own, using the principles you have learned and the information provided by your professor. If you are still struggling, don't hesitate to seek assistance from your professor or other resources, such as textbooks or online tutorials. Remember, the process of designing a controller is complex and often requires a collaborative effort. Good luck with your project!
