Course Description

Learn the basics behind how a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller works and how to implement one on the Arduino hardware!
A PID controller is the most common feedback controller used in the industry, but they can also be used for hobbyist electronic projects such as quad-copters, self-balancing robots, temperature controllers, and much more! In this course, we will not be going into the classical control theory behind PID controllers, instead we will approach the controller intuitively so that it's role and implementation is practically understood.
The lecture series contains 7 lectures covering:

Feedback Systems, P, PI, and PID Controllers
Arduino Implementation and Live Demonstration (Propeller Arm Example)
Heuristic PID Tuning

A template for the Arduino code will also be provided and explained in the series. In order to demonstrate the controller in real-time, a propeller arm example has been constructed. The live demonstration will be used to explain the behavior of the PID controller and how to tune one heuristically.
This course is suitable for any student, engineer, hobbyist, or maker who always wished to understand PID control in a easy intuitive manner; although a basic understand of electronics, C coding, and calculus is preferred. Having knowledge of feedback control prior to taking this course is also a plus!
After taking this course, you will not only understand PID control better, but you'll become a lot more comfortable with designing projects that involve feedback control.Who this course is for:

Any engineer, student, or hobbyist who wishes to learn how to implement a PID controller in hardware (Arduino/Microcontrollers).
Anyone designing projects that involve feedback control (quad-copters, self-balancing robots, temperature control, etc).

My name is Nabil, I'm an engineer by day and hobbyist by night. I was born in New York, USA but raised in New Jersey my whole life. I hold a BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers University and currently work as a full-time engineer.
Like many engineering students, I had a hard time understanding the theory and concepts intuitively, but once I was able to make some practical sense of it all, I wanted to share my knowledge with others (students, engineers, makers, DIY'ers).
My courses will mostly be design-based, in areas of: analog design, audio amps, control systems, power supply design and much more!
When I am not working or tinkering, you can find me playing the electric guitar, hitting the gym, or cooking.

Good!

yes,it is very good and thank you,if you have another course,i hope you send me,because your explaining way very beautiful

By Anish on 11/15/2020

in last PID tunning , it would be good if it would have been explained the derivation for Ki and Kd reaching to that equations.

Just an amazing learning experience

So far, yes it is good. My Professor at the university went over PID control and it was not a good explanation compared to this one.

By Mark Owensby on 10/6/2020

This gives a very good intuitive feel for how a PID controller works.

I enjoyed this mini course, is very well explained. I'm using PID controller not on Arduino projects but for reliable 3D simulations and works great.
