This project is about to develop a single phase inverter that is used to understand the concept of inverter voltage output control using Raspberry Pi as the microcontroller. The medium of communications between the Raspberry Pi and the MATLAB Simulink software is necessary while the Arduino is used as an analog to digital converter for the voltage control feedback. The important of this project is to use the low cost microcontrollers which are the Raspberry Pi and Arduino to generate a suitable PWM switching signal to the inverter based on the instruction that been developed in the MATLAB-Simulink blocks without using any programming framework. This inverter has been tested when the mathematical equation blocks diagram and the controllers have been downloaded to the microcontrollers. At the end, the results show, the selected microcontrollers can be used for generating the PWM signal and also to be as an ADC converter for closed loop voltage operation that will be good to undergraduate student for understanding the concept of microcontroller process use in power converters.
