Re: Tired of tuning pesty PID loops for hours? Try Neural Networks!

The goal of releasing this code was that teams would have an easier time with machine control as well as show them that there is more than one way to do things, and a lot of times the first solution you have (the PID controller given to each team), isn't always the best.

By learning parameters, are you talking about setting them yourself, or a PID controller that finds parameters itself? The latter already exists, but it is more complex than a neural network in my opinion.

RNNs do wonders, but I wanted to keep things simple for an introductory post. This would be a great topic for a team to explore for themselves, as well as Elman Networks and others of the like.
