This flexible title covers both the theory and practical applications of digital control systems. Its flexibility makes it ideal for lecturers teaching a class with either a microcontroller class as a prerequisite, a controls class as a prerequisite, or both as prerequisites. Key features: * Detailed treatment of how microcontrollers can be programmed and used in digital control applications. * Offers worked examples and exercises in every chapter. * Combines microcontrollers and control theory - existing books tend to cover one or the other. * Features a special focus on digital applications of microcontrollers.
