A programmable temperature and process controller for use by the maker community has been designed to be Arduino-compatible. Called the SmartPID it can be programmed on a PC via the USB port using the ...

[Jason] learned a lot by successfully automating this meat smoker. This is just the first step in [Jason’s] smoker project. He decided to begin by hacking a cheaper charcoal-fed unit first, before ...

Sous vide cookers aren’t anything new, but [Phil] wanted to build the first sous vide using the osPID, an open source PID controller just released in the last month. The build uses the osPID Open ...

The pCon with OPC is a Windows® software-based multiloop autotune gain-scheduled temperature/process PID controller with integrated configurable HMI operator interface touch screens. It uses Excel ...

Well designed conventional PID controllers using Ziegler-Nichols method are having large overshoot and settling time. Significant research work has been carried out to improve the performance of ...

I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

(Editor's additional note: if you are not familiar with the principles and analysis of PID control: you should be; It is the most important, studied, understandable, and applied closed-loop control ...
