Implementation of a Microcontroller-Based Chaotic Circuit of Lorenz Equations

Abstract

Lorenz equations are commonly used in chaos education and studies. Simulation programs can be used to produce solutions of Lorenz equations and to examine its chaotic waveforms. However, sometimes a chaotic signal source can be needed. Such a circuit can be made using either analog or digital circuit components. Recently, a microcontroller-based circuit is suggested to obtain chaotic waveforms of Lorenz equations however only simulations are used to show proof of concept. Such circuit needs experimental verification. In this paper, implementation and experimental verification of the microcontroller-based circuit which solves Lorenz equations in real time and produces its chaotic waveforms are presented. Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the equation system. By using Proteus, microcontroller-based chaotic circuit is simulated and designed. Presented design has been implemented using an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 microcontroller. The microcontroller sends the chaotic signals to the outputs of the circuit using digital-to-analog converters. The waveforms acquired experimentally from the implemented circuit matches well with those obtained from Proteus simulations.
