Electronoobs 🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️ 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

Did you try reading a couple of distance measurments and f.ex averaging the result? Might be able to smooth out the noise from the sensor

[@KeithOlson]

​@@ahmdabdallah2132 ...except Allah is NOT Yahweh--they follow two COMPLETELY different ideas of justice, for example--nor did Jesus teach what Mohammed did; quite the opposite, in fact. For example, Jesus allowed Himself to be killed for His beliefs, while Mohammed killed others for his. (I won't reply further, as the original post was religious spam, but lies must not be allowed to stand unprotested.)

[@featherbrain7147]

I like the fact your code does not use a library, so the computation is easily visible.

[@uatiger1]

Very Thankful to you brother. I am an Electrical Engineering graduate and I have studied Control Systems extensively in my degree. I studied the mathematics of PID controllers in excruciating detail. And never fully understood it and could never apply it in practice until I watched this video of yours. Hats off man.

[@johnschmidt874]

I think it's the best explanations of PID control concept i've ever had. It didn't dive into mathematical model, but it gave concept of how PID works. It's good if you make another video on how to apply filters on the system. Thanks for making this awesome video mate. Edit: you've got a new subscriber here.

[@Evgen-Evgen-Evgen]

Yeah

[@MrScorpnok]

This controller uses the ideal formula for D i think. If the setpoint is changed from a value to another (or the measured value...)in this case if the ball is moved from one point to another, the difference between measure and setpoint will instantly change and so the D will jump up to infinite for a moment (error-previousError/TIME)... In reality a filtration constant is needed. The shaking in this is probably is due to te inaccuracy of the measuring device (the measurement value jumps in steps instead of smooth rise/lowering) for that you'll need the filtration timeconstant, which will limit the jump of the D-control. Don't really know how to explain better without bringing laplace-functions to the table... Laplace functions are imo the easiest way to show the principle but i'd have to explain how they work...

[@MrScorpnok]

So, lets assume the system in this video checks the balls position every 1 ms and the accuracy of the measurement is 5mm. If the ball moves really slow, lets say it is 20mm away... it can move a few mm (to 22mm) before the measurement device reacts, and when it reacts (at 23mm), it'll think it has moved to 25mm. Now that the last measurement before the change was 1ms ago, the derivate part calculates 5mm/1ms, even tho the ball would be just barely rolling. The speed calculated with these values ends up being 5m/s. This makes the excessive back-n-forth movement. I think you might have already figured out why the filtration is needed but anyways... I was bored so I explained anyways :D also this didn't help at all with what you were asking which was HOW to make the filtration XD

[@MrScorpnok]

Elimination of derivative kick is a good term to google

[@akkudakkupl]

@@MrScorpnok You can also just get rid of the D term if you are okay with a bit of overshoot. Most real life process automation just ditches the D term because it has destabilizing properties :D

[@bogdanmarinescu78]

I've read quite a few PID tutorials in the past and they helped me understand how PID works, but this is still by far the best explanation of PID that I've ever seen, and now I understand PID even better. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[@WillHenson2009]

One of the best practical demonstrations of PID I've ever seen, fantastic!

[@miiroderrick8821]

Was researching about PID temperature controller, I found my self on your video, then I wanted to get more explanation on PID control systems, KZbin brought me here surprised you're the same person to offer both my interests and I don't need any extra video. Honestly, you're the best I have ever seen in electronics. Thanks for the simple and creative illustrations.

[@cuturbs]

I usually don't leave a comment on videos, but man, this one is gold. I'm an almost graduaded eletrical engineer and I took control classes. They were full of math and theory and lacked pratical exemples and your explanation is flawless. Just earned a new subscriber. Keep up this excelent work!

[@ranashreyas]

This was such an amazing explanation, mostly because you used a physical model and tested it; no other tutorial has actually implemented it. Thank you!

[@robbgosset674]

This is by far one of the best explanations of how PID control works. Clear, concise and covers all the encessary information. Thanks for making this video!

[@clairecelestin8437]

Seeing the behavior of each component in a real system made it absolutely clear what each expression does, and how they work together to hold the system at a specific value. This was a really great demonstration.

You Explained this in best way than any youtuber can explain. You have cleared my so many doubts. You are a genius. Keep Spreading knowledge. I really really appriciate you man.

[@donstillwell9894]

Excellent demonstration of PID control. We are going to build your PID project to use in our maintenance training, where I work, to hopefully give our maintenance team members a better understanding of how a PID control work and how to tune a PID loop. Thank you very much for taking the time to make the video and sharing it with us!!

As many other have said, this 14 minutes helped understand the PID control implementation in code, way better than a semester of my automation and control introduction. Thanks

[@jiangxu3895]

Best PID explanations. I’ve gone through many tutorials, none of them explained well to show the importance of each parameter. It is especially difficult for me to understand the integrate of distance, when the differentiation of distance is equal to speed, which is much easier to understand. Anyway, great video. Keep up!

[@nieldewet5315]

What a brilliant and intuitive explanation. No lecturer of mine could ever explain it like this.

[@kun_fu_taco4775]

You are a life saver my friend! We have a system that control volumetric flow and we are trying to keep the flow rate steady at very low flows, this is all controlled by a PID system and I had a hard time understanding how to input the values. This really helps! "If the error is too small, the proportional won't affect" This seems true because we have a harder time controlling the lowest flows which is probably not being detected by the system.

[@theflyingdutchman787]

[@quantomic1106]

Best PID demo I've seen. Keep up the good work bud!

[@GuyFromJupiter]

Higher gain values make for a faster reacting system, but they also tend to make the system very unstable if raised too high. This is especially true in systems with a considerable amount of dead time, which is the time from the PID changes its output to when there is a response from the system as measured by the sensor. This is why PID controls always have to be tuned for an optimal balance of performance and stability.

[@Leafyfpv]

I havent watched this through yet but can tell its a great instructional video... Also That circuitboard background is SICK!!!!!

[@MrJordot7]

I work with PID control quite often yet this is the best way I've heard it explained! Fancy doing a slight development of the same experiment, but put a fan at one end that you can direct towards/away from the ball to model an outside influence? When you use a PID for cooling, the temperature of the coolant can change, which means your actuator may need to start providing 'more' even though it was at equilibrium.

[@mrtspirit]

I have watched many videos however non of them put those keywords together. " While the P value is small, hence no error to be sensored to create any movements ,as a result of no changes also No D action to take a place " loved it .
