Low-cost embedded solution for PID controllers of DC motors

Abstract

Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is the most common control algorithm used in industry today. The popularity of PID controllers can be attributed to their effectiveness in a wide range of operating conditions, their functional simplicity and how easily engineers can implement them using current computer technology. This article discusses PID control and practical implementations and provides a brief overview on how to tuning parameters of PID controllers.
