Introduction to Control systems2:48
In this lecture we will go through the basics of a control system and different control systems. This is to have an understanding of control systems before learning about PID control
Open loop System demonstration3:38
In this lecture we will go through a demonstration of an open loop system and its characteristics.
Closed loop System demonstration3:12
In this lecture we will go through a demonstration of a closed loop system and its characteristics.
Introduction to PID control3:22
An introduction to PID systems before we dive deep into learning about PID in a very practical way.
PID Control Algorithm to Real world5:00
We will learn how to relate an algorithm to real world systems by converting the algorithm and implement it in Arduino programming.
Proportional term P of PID Control5:51
In this lecture you will learn about Proportional term of the PID control. We will learn its effect on a demonstration system.
Integral term I of the PID Control4:14
In this lecture you will learn about Integral term of the PID control. We will learn its effect on a demonstration system in a very practical way.
Derivative term D of the PID Control3:03
In this lecture you will learn about Derivative term of the PID control. We will learn its effect on a demonstration system in a very practical way.
Tuning PID Control systems5:34
We will learn about tuning PID controller, we will learn two methods of tuning, namely Manual Method (trial and error) and Ziegler–Nichols method. We will use these two methods on the demonstration system
Arduino Sketch3:53
In this lecture we will go through the Arduino sketch that was used in the PID demonstration system. Please find the sketch as a resource

Description

This course is focused for those of you who are interested in programming and electronics, who are trying to expand their knowledge base in this field.

For those of you who are familiar with Arduino, microcontrollers, and electronics this course can give you yet another idea for new possibilities if you haven’t used PID in your DIY projects. You will find out how easy it is to implement this control systems to make your project very intelligent, sophisticated, and advanced.

For others, you will enjoy learning something new.

This course can also be exciting for someone who would like to know what PID Control systems are and some possibilities using it in your everyday projects.

This course is structured in such a way that we start from the result and then walks backward to figure out the solution and implementations with enough details that you will be empowered to design and implement PID controller in your own systems in almost no time.

My goal is to teach you closed loop control systems and how to implement such systems by using PID controllers using Arduino and microcontrollers in a very practical way (You don’t need to understand the maths behind the algorithm to build these systems)

With experience I know that if you do not have proper understanding of this amazing and very famous control system, it can remain a mystery for you. As I am targeting this course for beginners of all sorts, to give you a better understanding, I will touch on control systems in general and explain everything in a very practical way so you will get to understand them with ease.

This course covers live demonstrations of PID control systems which can be easily duplicated, improvised, and implemented by you. This course also covers some theoretical background about PID controllers and how it relates to real world system.

Rather than delving altogether in theory, my focus is to give you a better understanding and enough knowledge to empower you to immediately put your brain at work. This way you can come up with your own systems almost in no time. I have replaced the theory with lot of practical demonstrations to understand the whole concept behind PID control system.

Once you go through this course and have a better understanding of the crucial aspects of PID controllers in a closed loop system, the confusion and mystery behind PID controllers will be gone.

For all of you out there, you will enjoy learning something new and exciting.

Thank you

Who this course is for:

Curious DIY learners
Makers
Beginner students in the field of Electronics and Programming
Students of Arduino and Microcontrollers
Who likes robotics and ways to design and build systems
Basically for anyone who loves the field of programming and or electronics
