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 ...

Hands-on experience in 'embedded systems and robotics' This project enhanced my understanding of 'control systems, sensor integration, and embedded programming'. Excited to explore more in 'robotics ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this paper, we design and implement a low-cost Arduino-based real-time PID controller and a sliding mode control (SMC) controller for the angular speed of a DC gearmotor in robotics ...

Ever-ease is designed to address laptop overheating issues by intelligently controlling cooling fans. Using a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller, the system measures real-time ...

PID control has been in use for a long time in industry, but only for the past few years has it been introduced into environments such as Arduino, with rather concise libraries and no graphical aids.

Sous vide cookers aren’t anything new, but [Phil] wanted to build the first sous vide using the osPID, an open source PID controller just released in the last month. The build uses the osPID Open ...

[Matt] wanted to have more control over his meat smoker so he built this advanced PID smoker controller. It uses the solid state relay seen in the bottom-right of this image to switch the smoker’s ...
