In a recent conversation with a friend I mentioned the topic of PID to him. He was curious, and since he didn’t really get the Wikipedia page (which confused me too before I read a few other sources) he asked me to write a quick article about it. So I did. The result is posted here and hopefuly explains some basic control theory and PID concept/programming to people who never heard about it before. I’m posting it here to see if I can get some feedback before sending it to him (he moderates a message board specifically for FIRST teams in Israel, so he’s going to translate it).
Thanks, I was actually reading Matt Krass’ PID theory about five minutes ago for a project I am doing. This one looks good too and is a little easier for me to understand. Kudos!

For reference, the paper Pavan was talking about is also very useful. Matt’s goes a bit more in depth on the technical side, so I’d recommend reading it after Guy’s.
