Most undergrads who took Control Engineering courses can "PID without a PhD", what's the point ?

- Waterluvian 3y agoYeah the title is kinda meh. Teenagers on the robotics team I mentor have figured out PID loops and calibrating them (and how funny robots are when you don’t)
- frisbee6152 3y agoI was on one of those robotics teams, and I recall this document being passed around as suggested reading on that team. It’s probably worth considering that this was written in 2000, when it was a more niche topic, and was probably itself a part of what made PID programming more accessible in the first place.
- jldugger 3y agoI mean, Control Theory has been part of engineering cirricula for a lot longer than that. But the internet wasn't nearly as pervasive then, and Wikipedia wouldn't be founded until the next year.
- zelos 3y agoPID design was on my undergrad Chem Eng 2nd year curriculum in the 90s. I took it the year Starcraft came out, so my grade suffered a bit.
- throwaway143829 3y agoCan confirm, I broke the robot once when I accidentally had the sign flipped on the PID error term.
- mcbits 3y agoSome people aren't undergrads who took Control Engineering courses.
