PID control is a commonly used control algorithm. Elektor's new book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to use a Raspberry Pi 4 or an Arduino Uno in PID-based automatic control applications.

This online lab demonstrates a control system that uses an Arduino-based setup to levitate a ball in the air and maintain its position using a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller. The ...

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 ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

It is a common situation in electronics to have a control loop, that is some sort of feedback that drives the input to a system such as a motor or a heater based upon a sensor to measure something ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of ...
