Abstract

This paper introduces a self-stabilizing aircraft control surface by development an electronic circuit that consists of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with Arduino board and servo motors. This will include, dealing with MATLAB® and Control System Toolbox™, explore the variety of advantages offered by PID controllers, and includes theory about inertial sensors and servo motors.An implementation of the design electronic circuit was achieved and built on an off the shelf of a small aircraft model. The overall system was tested and several experiments were conducted. Several output measurements were collected and post processing to stabilize the overall model.
