Controlling an inverted pendulum using a Microchip microcontroller was possible at a University in Switzerland. The FLEX Base Board (hosting a Microchip dsPIC - see the Datasheet) and the FLEX Multibus Board with a CAN module were used for swinging-up and maintaining the inverted equilibrium. The Source code was entirely generated using Scilab/Scicos , an automatic code generator for control systems.

Develop a single-click digital control automatic code generation tool for FLEX! Using the Scilab/Scicos FLEX Toolbox it is possible to automatically generate code from Scicos control diagrams to fast prototype control algorithms and digital control systems for microcontroller and DSP embedded application.
