The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

[Jason] learned a lot by successfully automating this meat smoker. This is just the first step in [Jason’s] smoker project. He decided to begin by hacking a cheaper charcoal-fed unit first, before ...

While building robotics projects, the importance of controllers and motors cannot be overstated. These components are the heart and soul of any robotic system, providing the necessary control and ...

We’re all familiar with the experience of buying hobby servos. The market is awash with cheap clones which have inflated specs and poor performance. Even branded servos often fail to deliver, and ...

Pretty much every project I've done just lately has required me to test out some servos and experiment with their positions before they go into the assembly. I usually make a quick servo tester on a ...

Proportional integral derivative (PID) control is a common method used to regulate the dynamic behavior of a system. Examples are found in many industrial devices, where it’s employed for control of ...
