A treasure trove of tutorials, tips, and tools I’ve trawled up while tinkering on things.

Controls

• Controls Engineering in FRC by Tyler Veness [Github]
  • THE book that distills the practical knowledge needed for controlling mobile robots in an easy-to-follow format. A comprehensive primer for all things controls engineering.

Kalman

• Building your own Arduino Drone by Carbon Aeronautics (videos 15 and 19).

  • Super easy to follow explanation of standard 1D and 2D Kalman Filters with code examples.
  • Rest of the playlist also offers good videos for PID controllers in the context of quadcopters.

• EKF tutorial and TinyEKF library by Prof Simon D. Levy

  • Builds up understanding of Extended Kalman Filters progressively, with the highly versatile TinyEKF library that can be used for many different purposes.
