Here is the controller I designed for my 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms. The main advantage it has over a traditional gaming controller is the ability to fine-tune a value (such as the openness ...

Is the Arduino Uno Q the missing piece in your next project? With its hybrid design that fuses the precision of a microcontroller with the flexibility of a Linux-based single-board computer, this ...

Achieving quality in the medical laboratory requires the use of many tools. This workbook explains the basic knowledge necessary to understand a simple but effective statistical process control system ...

"Windup" occurs when the integral term grows indefinitely while the actuator is saturated (at max limit). Standard PID calculates d(Error)/dt. This library calculates ...

The PID controller relies on three main parameters: Proportional (P), Integral (I), and Derivative (D). These parameters are adjusted to precisely guide the car based on sensor-detected track ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.
