Flying Lever Arm (Open Source PID Controller)
Maker Faire Bay Area 2018
May 18th-20th
Exhibit
Engineering
I built a Flying Lever Arm to demonstrate how to code and tune a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller. I will be exhibiting the original and an open-source version. Visitors get to tune the PID algorithm at the show or build one at home.
