Control Theory
Hi all,
After getting the camera tracking and moving the robot according to the servo values, I'm trying to fine-tune the tracking algorithm. After reading Kevin's post, where he mentioned control theory, it interested me on the topic. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...05&postcount=1) Can anyone point me to a reference on control theory, or explain the basic concepts? (Maybe with some code examples on the topic of the camera, or even pseudocode) Thanks, |

Re: Control Theory
http://wikipedia.org/ is always a good starting place, in this case it is an extremely well documented, and laid out way of looking at it, with a brief history, as well as the mathemetical reasoning behind it:

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. ![]() |

It assumes you have a bit of a understanding of control theory already, so perhaps this is the SECOND book you'd buy if you're looking for good practical application and understanding of tuning parameters in the field. Compare prices on this book: http://www.textbookscene.com/search-results.php?listid=b8803538aa93420cf15d33a351510c6 9 Read Amazon's Reviews: Control System Design: A Practical Guide George Ellis is a pretty smart cookie and I found this book to be highly readable. I can't say that about a lot of technical books. Matt |

Re: Control Theory
If you click on the advanced search option here on CD and search on
PID or Closed loop feedback selecting 'search titles only' you will find a bunch of posts from previous years. most are locked so you cant reply to them, but lots of good info there. PID stands for "proportional intergral differential". In motion terms that corresponds to a control system that looks at "position, velocity and acceleration" of where you are compaired to where you want to be.
