Kevin, or others
Can you reccomend a good book or other refrence that would be a good starting point to learn this, as I am a computer networking major I dont get to take classes like control theory and cant afford the time nor cash to take the classes at the moment. But I am very intrested in the topics, I have researched PID control some but would like any more information I can get.
