Simple Examples of PID Control

  When I studied control theory at university many years ago we started almost immediately into the math of Nyquist stability theory. The point seemed to be that our lecturer was a clever dude and we undergrads were a bunch of idiots who should read more. Maybe he was right, but his job was to change the error signal between our level of knowledge and his own: a nice problem in control theory that he thoroughly failed to resolve. <br>I got more from your 14 minute video than I did from hours of his instruction. Nicely done. Thank you.

  Took a whole class in mechatronics as a computer engineer. You managed to explain a whole semester&apos;s worth of confusion in a half hour between these two videos!

  I must say I normally don&apos;t comment on videos, but you have an amazing ability to take a complex idea and make it simpler and interesting with great real world type examples. This is how schools should be teaching a combined math science curriculum that actually keeps student interested. &nbsp;I&apos;m an engineer and thus have made it through a rigorous math science education and I wish I had this back when I took control systems. Bravo Sir and keep it coming.

  The oldest comments are over 13yrs old but the video is still making real impact 🫡🫡

  A man who can become Picasso becomes a control engineer.

  Also, humans themselves are control systems. &nbsp;For example, if you try to walk from your kitchen to your bedroom, you accomplish this with feedback control. &nbsp;Your eyes are the sensors and your legs are the actuators. &nbsp;Your brain (controller) adjusts when to turn and how fast to walk using eyes as feedback. &nbsp;Also, your internal temperature control keeping you at 98.6 degrees is another controlled system in your body. &nbsp;There are tons of examples like this with humans.

  I wish I had proper youtube back in my child days (29 now). What would school have been so much more easier, resulting in learning even more in a shorter amount of time. No &apos;dry&apos; text and pictures and brain wrecks. I&apos;m a bit jealous and happy for my daughter the opportunities she have to educate herself. Thanks to people like you Brian!

  This is so good! university classes always focus too much on the underlying mathematics without properly reasoning why it exists

  Where were you when I needed you? I`ve graduated in 2011 and this was my last exam.

  Hey Hi. I am not an engineer, I am building a quad and this video helped me a lot.<br>Just wanted to say thank you.
