Implementation of a Predictive controller on the STM32 board

In the literature, there is few practical works about the implementation on miniaturized devices like FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) and microcontrollers of the Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) technique. The reason can be attributed to its programming complexity. In this work, we took advantage of the advancement in the field of embedded systems and we realized an application based on a GPC implemented on an STM32 microcontroller to control a basic second order system. Also, a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller has been implemented in the STM32 to make a performance comparison with the GPC.
