Re: Neat demonstration of proportional and PID control systems

P and I aren't that hard to implement with some testing. D is hard to wrap your mind around a lot of the times as a newer programmer.

P helps make sure you get near your target, and decelerate as it approaches it
I makes sure you reach your target but overshots and undershots if gains are incorrect.
D is hard to explain.
