PIDs Simplified

[@chrispietersen804]

After watching countless PID videos to try and get understanding of PID separately, I can honestly say that your video was by far the most straight forward, easy to understand and straight to the point. Simplicity is key and you did that super well! Thank you so much!

[@raoabdulhadi]

You wrote it already what I wanted to write.

[@TrFusion]

D is watching sudden change of position within the fraction time to give feedback. It does’t matter where the target is. So .. 1. Set P for the smooth and sluggish curve. 2. Set I to help add power to P if it is taking too much time to get to the target. 3. Set D to push the power back if I is doing too much work and excessive acceleration. P I’ll try to get to the target. I I’ll give you extra power because you are taking too much time. D I’ll slow you down because I is giving too much power and detected sudden movement in short period of time.

[@MrLeon3773]

Thanks for the brilliant comment!

[@pastrie42]

This was so much better of an explanation of what each one does.

[@BobtheBuilder0]

This made it really clear for me, thank you!

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

Nice breakdown!

[@YassineSfaxien]

Good explanation. Thx

[@TormodSteinsholt]

P term is a rubber band with a resting length of zero. It needs distance to produce tension. If you increase the load on a rubber band, it needs to stretch further in order to produce the correct tension. This is insufficient for a regulator since you expect a regulator to compensate. The I term naturally complements the shortcoming of a rubber band. And since both pull towards the setpoint, you need the D term to compensate to avoid overshoot.

[@NVTCGames]

I play stormworks and have been trying to figure out how these work for a millennium without using just the P value and this man is a saviour

[@tazblink]

I have to write and say thank you. I built a PID box to control oven temps and I have been screwing with it all day. I knew what I wanted it to do but I just didn't know how to get there. Your explanation of D solved my problems. I was getting a 20 degree over and 10 degree under oscillation. Now I am getting a .1 to .3 degree over oscillation and thats it. It holds at exactly 167.0 to 167.3. Perfect for killing covid-19 on masks gloves whatever. I am using 2 oven thermometers to verify the temp and it is dead nuts. Again thanks so much I hadn't heard D explained that way before and it all clicked when you said it. TAS

[@pjohnston84]

I've seen a lot of pid videos, but this graph does a great job demonstrating what is going on. The graph is very informative Thank you!

[@michaelosinowo226]

this is the best theoretical explanation so far

[@tigerseye73]

As an electrician, I sometimes had to tune PID for process temp. control. I was able to muddle through it but it was sometimes frustrating. Wish I could have viewed your channel years ago. Thankfully, most micro controllers now have auto-tune feature. Turn it on and let it do its thing. Your video can be applied to many different control application. Thanks for sharing.

[@johndarwinmateo796]

What if auto tune doesn't fix the problem what would be the best way to fix it?

[@johndarwinmateo796]

I'm fixing an oven in our laboratory and it has a pid controller I tried to autone and offset the controller the pv and the sv is already equal unfortunately the actual temperature in the inside is very high

[@WacekDziewulski]

This is just about the best explanation of PIDs ever! I've watched a lot of videos on the topic including Joshua Bardwell's PID tuning masterclass and as much as I appreciate his practical approach, You've just nailed it in theory! Understanding Your video gives one a clear view on the Anti-Gravity and Feed Forward in Betaflight. Thanks for allowing me to grasp the whole thing. Awesome job! Subscribing for more!

The best explanation of quad tuning I have seen thus far... You are the Khan Academy of quad-copters... Keep up the good work.

[@kaushalmody9617]

Great job man, simplified PID explanation. Just what I wanted.

[@ardentdfender4116]

One the best explanation I’ve come across watching quite a lot of PID vids. Still trial and error in tuning goes a long way. Especially if you got a very good updated trend to look at on a short time scale like inn15-30 min span or so. That allows you to see how things are playing out on a trend in adjustment as you try to smooth things out.

[@yourdreamhomebyjenmagpantay]

Hi how to adjust the PID temperature controller. Should I put all setting to zero then start adjusting the p?

[@desolatekd]

Really a great way you explained the most complicated part. Thanks

[@marien1991]

Thank you for making me understand the use of each one of the three terms. Before this explanations, everything was like XYZ in mathematics, but from now on i will have in mind what PID means when calculating. It will make a big difference, thanks to you.

[@j0joe33]

Referring to the beginning of the explanation: P term, as i understand it. does not slow down or speed up. That is derivative. P term also does not move back and fourth. That is Integral. The P term tries to move to the target, but because of physics, it ends up being in the wrong place. It outputs proportional to the input. If the p is 2/1, it outputs 2 for every 1. It is one number, the desired destination. Integral and Derivative correct the errors.

Why do we use a PID controller if the only thing that it does is to follow the input. Why dont we directly fed our input to the system instead of passing it through PID.

Awesome video this has already help me in this Awesome hobby/sport you are a excellent teacher this video will help every beginner like myself that’s intimidated by tuning cause some people in the sport are so advanced that they are far removed from knowing and understanding how a beginner thinks 🤔. Thanks so much this has shaved months maybe longer off understanding Fpv in its entirety 😃👍

[@RimmyTimfpv]

This makes more sense to me than any other PID explanation video I've seen, so thank you. I've been flying for about a year and have never really been able to visualize what each term does, and I just built a quad that is giving me more trouble to tune than my other two quads ever did, so I'm here to learn!

[@mrbradley8743]

I just don't understand. Whenever I see other examples, it shows a high rate of change (approaching set point quick, say a PV of 40degress and set point of 50 degrees)giving D a high value. If we are approaching a set point and want to avoid overshoot, is the D value inverse? So the D value gives a minus value to the PID controller to lower the power to avoid overshoot?

[@cameronjacobs3144]

Great video! When someone asks me about pid's I show them this video

[@zrmsraggot]

Is it possible to create a PID controler that won't allow overshoot like ' You need to stop this car right before it falls off a cliff '

[@senalperera8629]

Great explanation 🫡

[@TheRainHarvester]

Have you ever tried zeroing out the kterm (the accumulating variable) when crossing the setpoint? I noticed it's always retaining it's value when overshooting, when it should really help to go the opposite direction.

[@mattgrimmett6067]

I almost never see Derivative being used in manufacturing ("D term").... Proportional and Integral are more than enough to tune almost any loop

But Integral can accumulate and stall a PID as well. It's called "Integral Windup".

[@pb1248]

Instead of a proportional term why can't we use == relation

[@RizwanKhan_99]

So, P = amount of correction signal, proportional to the deviation from set-point, and D= response rate of the 'P' signal (to prevent time delays by preventing any overshoots or undershoots) is my understanding correct?

[@SiieeFPV]

D is independent of P, they just happen to work together. D also doesn't do anything to prevent undershoots ( I is what provides a slow nudge when you're not resolving on your exact set point ) it fights overshoots by virtue of it providing a corrective force when the error is increasing, which is what happens when P overshoots it's target

[@RizwanKhan_99]

@@SiieeFPV so when I is slow to react, exactly what role does D play in that situation?

[@SiieeFPV]

if the pid controller has settled but not exactly at it's target D isn't really doing anything. because even though it's not at it's target, the error is not changing, so D sees nothing happening

[@RizwanKhan_99]

@@SiieeFPV I see. So, when P is small and D plays no role (as it sees no error as you say), how exactly then an undershoot is corrected?

[@SiieeFPV]

I term slowly nudges the solution towards the target over time. With no I term an undershoot is not corrected. Technically not even always an undershoot, you can have a small overshoot as well. You can resolve anywhere very close to, but not exactly at, the target. I term finishes the job.

[@XGraphixWebsites]

I am confused ... You are talking about hitting its target ... How does the quad know where the target is, considering we decide when to stop and start the movement of the quad. Maybe I am looking at this all wrong.

[@SiieeFPV]

The target that you're setting isn't the quads position, but the quads rotational speed. That's why it's called "rate" mode, because you're directly commanding the rotational rate. So when you've got the stick pushed over to one side you set the target rotation speed to say 900 degrees/sec, and the pid controller then tries what it can to make the quad spin at 900 degrees/sec in that direction. When you're doing a flip you're issuing two different rate targets in quick succession, the first when you push the stick over to the side to tell the quad to spin quickly to one direction, and a second target when you return the stick to center and tell the quad to stop rotating (no matter what direction it's facing) If you're in level, or attitude mode then your stick position is directly controlling the angle the quad sits at, so the target your commanding is a position target rather than a rate target. Typically this will actually be a 2nd pid controller that talks to the lower level rate pid controller.
