A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

Abstract: The research proposes controlling DC motor angular speed using the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and hardware implementation using a microcontroller. The microcontroller ...

PID control is the most commonly used control algorithm, used extensively in industrial, process, and commercial applications and has been universally accepted as the easiest and perhaps the best ...

Control system leveraging PID & computer vision to balance a ball on a platform. WIP: PID tuning is ongoing. Final results will be added soon. I built this project to learn and apply control theory ...

We’ve been hiding away in air-conditioned comfort to wait out the hot weather afflicting most of the US right now. Luckily we’re keeping busy with the great links coming into our tips box. [Brett] ...

Before starting this project, you must know that spinning propellers are very dangerous for your eyes and people around. When using the benchtest indoor, you must wear large protective glasses, and ...

PID control has been in use for a long time in industry, but only for the past few years has it been introduced into environments such as Arduino, with rather concise libraries and no graphical aids.

[Matt] wanted to have more control over his meat smoker so he built this advanced PID smoker controller. It uses the solid state relay seen in the bottom-right of this image to switch the smoker’s ...
