Pid Controllers - Intro To Control Design
 

Learn to write your own control software while learning fundamental control theory.
What you'll learn
Common control langauge.
How to design a PID controller in software.
What components of a PID controller should be used for various environments/problems.
Requirements
If you have intermediate PC skills, that's all you need to complete this course!
Description
In this course you'll learn how to implement a PID controller in software. You will understand when the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative components of the controller should and shouldn't be used.
The physics of an elevator are simulated to allow you the opportunity to write control software and see how it performs. The simulator will also give you hands on experience with debugging and tuning a controller, two very important aspects for a real system.
Who this course is for
Someone interested in topics such as automation, robotics, control systems, or PID controls with no formal experience.
