The purpose of this user manual is to provide the students of Control System Analysis and Design with a full understanding of how the Transportable Rotorcraft Electronic Control System (T-RECS) operates. This document will feature an overview of the components that make up the T-RECS and their respective function along with an assembly guide for the entire system. The necessary software installations for testing and operating the T-RECS will also be covered. Finally, an overview of the software that runs on the T-RECS will be provided to give students an intuitive understanding of how the system’s PID controller functions.
