A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...

We’ve been hiding away in air-conditioned comfort to wait out the hot weather afflicting most of the US right now. Luckily we’re keeping busy with the great links coming into our tips box. [Brett] ...

This is an update/refactor of https://github.com/br3ttb/Arduino-PID-Library, since the original library seems pretty much abandoned. For an explanation of many of the ...

At Maker Faire Milwaukee this past weekend, [basement tech] was showing off his latest build, a PID controlled charcoal grill. While it hasn’t QUITE been tested yet with real food, it does work in ...

Real-time motor stabilization using an Arduino-based PID controller with manual tuning and LabVIEW graphical interface over serial communication. This project implements a real-time manual PID control ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a Arduino based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) temperature control system using an Arduino UNO, R-type thermocouple, and solid-state relay (SSR ...

I am working on a custom version of an open source project called osPID. The existing project is a single input/output multi-purpose PID controller. I am attempting to modify the software and hardware ...

Abstract: This paper outlines the design and prototyping methodology for a simple, cost-effective device intended for Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) therapy, specifically for knee rehabilitation. The ...
