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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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: Industrial development requires accurate and reliable control technology. One of the popular control systems is PID control. This paper discusses the implementation of the PID method for ...

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a solar power tracker using Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs), an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a servo motor, and a solar panel. The primary ...

The big picture: If you don't know anything about electronics but have always wanted to learn and build your own IoT project, Arduino has the solution for you. The Plug and Make Kit is a comprehensive ...

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 ...
