In discussing tooling for hardware control systems, it’s interesting to talk about what tools have existed in the past. Indeed, the history of control systems is much longer than would be naively assumed. The development of control systems has been strongly linked with the development of tools for making them, from realizing controls with linkages connecting arcane sensors to outputs, to the advent of electrical mains enabling an easy-to-handle control medium, and the development of classical control theory and computers making development very accessible.
