Buck Converter Design with Arduino: From Theory to Practice, Unlock the world of power electronics with this in-depth course on buck converter design and implementation using Arduino. This course is ideal for engineering students, hobbyists, and professionals eager to master buck converters from theoretical foundations to practical applications. You will begin by exploring the core principles and equations essential to designing a buck converter. You’ll then be guided through implementing Voltage Mode Control using the hysteresis method within the Arduino IDE, ensuring you understand both the theory and practical application.

A key feature of this course is the design and implementation of a PI controller using MATLAB. You will learn how to generate digital controller coefficients and integrate them into your Arduino firmware. Through clear explanations and practical examples, you’ll develop the skills to implement and optimize the PI controller for peak performance of your buck converter. The curriculum is crafted to be both accessible and challenging, catering to a diverse audience with a passion for electronics and control systems. While an Arduino Uno development board is recommended for a hands-on experience, it is not mandatory, providing flexibility for all learners. By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of buck converter design and control. You’ll be equipped with the knowledge to apply these concepts to real-world projects and applications, making you proficient in power electronics and digital control systems. The main objective of this course is to introduce TinyML development from data collection, model training, testing and deployment. A low-cost Arduino nano RP2040 connect board with 265 KB RAM and 16 MB flash along with accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, temperature sensor and built-in wireless connectivity module (WiFi+Bluetooth) is used in this course and all the examples shown here have been tested on this board.
