Control Algorithms & Diagnostics
Debugging behavior
A first-principles approach to diagnosing embedded control systems.
Draft direction
This article will outline a disciplined way to diagnose embedded control behavior by tracing the path from physical input to software decision and commanded action.
Working outline
- Start from the observed physical behavior
- Separate sensing, interpretation, decision logic, and actuation
- Use timing and state assumptions as debugging evidence
- Turn findings into clearer diagnostics, requirements, and verification cases
