This Thesis concerns the application of micro-computers / micro-controllers in automatic control systems. For its writing,the Arduino microcomputer was investigated and utilized, while its applications were carried out in two Automatic Control Systems, which were speed control and position control of a DC motor. The development of the subject is done in five chapters.The first chapter is the introduction of the work. Initially, the concept and usefulness of automation are analyzed, confirming the usefulness of its use for humans, both in their daily lives and in their effort to achieve thebest possible result at the lowest cost. This is followed by an analysis of the Arduino platform, which is the subject of the work, and the contribution of the present work to the understanding of control systems by engineers and more.The second chapter deals with the literature review by studying micro-computers or micro-controllers. Emphasis is placed on automatic systems while the capabilities of the Arduino platform in automatic control systems are highlighted. Finally, both the functional and the peripheral elements of the platform are analyzed.The third chapter of the work includes the first application made for the purpose of writing the work and concerns the control of the speed of a DC motor.The fourth chapter includes the second application that was carried out and concerns the closed loop system for the precise control of the rotation of an object using a DC motor.For chapters 3 and 4 some simulations are performed in order to find the most suitable controller for each experiment respectively.Comparisons are made between the results, and the way in which we find the best solution.Finally, the fifth chapter lists the conclusions of this dissertation which emerged from previous applications while at the same time proposing future steps to complete the improvement and upgrade of the development of control systems using the Arduino platform.
