Overview of this book
<p>In this course, you'll learn how to implement a proportional integral derivative (PID) controller in software. You'll also understand when the proportional, integral, and derivative components of the controller should and shouldn't be used in a system. </p><p>The course takes you through the physics of an elevator, which is simulated to allow you to develop the control software and see how it performs. The simulator will also give you hands-on experience of debugging and tuning a controller, which are crucial aspects of a real system. </p><p>By the end of this course, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the components of PID controllers and be ready to design a controller on your own. </p><p> </p><p>All the code and supporting files for this course are available here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/PID-Controllers-Introduction-to-Control-Design</p>
