This project implements a joystick controlled robot using an Arduino Mega 2560. The robot has two DC motors with encoders, and a joystick to control its speed and direction. The speed of the motors is ...

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 ...

Traditional greenhouse systems often rely on manual adjustments or rudimentary automated controls that may not respond adequately to dynamic environmental changes. Advanced greenhouse control systems, ...

This project focuses on PID-position-control experiments with Arduino. The HTML/JavaScript-based GUI enables easy optimization of the parameters. Since there are many articles on the internet about ...

At Maker Faire Milwaukee this past weekend, [basement tech] was showing off his latest build, a PID controlled charcoal grill. While it hasn’t QUITE been tested yet with real food, it does work in ...

Experience — or at least education — often makes a big difference to having a successful project. For example, if you didn’t think about it much, you might think it is simple to control the ...

Abstract: The most widely used control strategy in industry is proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. The popularity of PID controllers can be attributed partly to their robust performance ...
