This report aims at presenting (yet) a(nother) methodology to design and implement a linear controller for linear dynamical systems on practical applications. The specificity of this report is that authors try to cover (obviously in a non exhaustive way) a wide range of control engineering fields. Indeed, the main purpose is to give a quick overview of standard control engineer approaches to non familiar readers. More specifically, using a simple toy example, we discuss the main steps control engineers usually follow. Namely, (i) the excitation signals construction, (ii) the (continuous-time) linear model construction and approximation, (iii) the (continuous-time) control design, and finally, (iv) its time-domain discretisation and control signal modulation in view of practical implementation. This report is clearly user-oriented and thus focuses on practical aspects (using Matlab code) rather than on theoretical ones, let to the reader's curiosity with few but relevant references.
