From theory to hardware: Cristian Castro Lagos on control engineering with Arduino
Control theory is beautiful on paper – elegant equations, perfectly modeled systems, textbook-perfect responses. But between the mathematical ideal and the physical system lies a gap that trips up many engineers: noise, timing constraints, actuator limits, and the stubborn reality of hardware that refuses to behave exactly as the model predicts. Cristian Castro Lagos, a Chilean electronics engineer with nearly a decade of industrial experience and part-time professor at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, has made bridging that gap...
