Machines and processes are controlled using many strategies, from simple ladder logic to custom algorithms for specialized process control, but proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most ...

The proportional part of a PID controller will only turn the heater ... and it is very instructive to see what each part of the equation does to the ping-pong ball. Even if you have used PID ...

As controls engineers delve into this field, one of their initial encounters with a control system is often with the PID controller, and this open source project delivers two of these general ...
