A control systems package for Python>=3.8.
This package is written with the ambition of providing a full-fledged control
systems software that serves a control engineer/student/researcher with complete
access to the source code with permissive rights (see LICENSE file).
Moreover, via working with a proper high-level computer programming language
many proprietary software obstacles are avoided and users can incorporate this
package into their workflow in any way they see fit.
The documentation is online at ReadTheDocs_. A brief tutorial about the basics
can be found under the notebooks folder to see harold in action.
The items that are in the pipeline and what possibly lies ahead is enumerated
in our roadmap <https://github.com/ilayn/harold/wiki/harold-roadmap>_.
There is already an almost-matured control toolbox which is led by
Richard Murray et al. (click for the Github page_) and it can perform
already most of the essential tasks. Hence, if you want to have
something that resembles the basics of matlab control toolbox, you should give
it a try. However, it is somewhat limited to SISO tools and also relies on
SLICOT library which can lead to installation hassle and/or licensing
problems for nontrivial tasks.
You can also use the tools available in SciPy signal module for basics
of LTI system manipulations. SciPy is a powerful all-purpose scientific
package. This makes it extremely useful however admittedly every discipline
has a limited presence hence the limited functionality. If you are looking
for a quick LTI system manipulation and don't want to install yet another
package, then it might be the tool for you.
Instead, if you are interested in robust control you probably would
appreciate the Skogestad-Python_ project. They are replicating the
code parts of the now-classic book completely in Python. Awesome!
