I’ve been testing out the RYB2340 Bluetooth module, and it’s honestly one of the simplest ways I’ve found to add wireless ...

Here is the controller I designed for my 3D printed animatronic eye mechanisms. The main advantage it has over a traditional gaming controller is the ability to fine-tune a value (such as the openness ...

"Windup" occurs when the integral term grows indefinitely while the actuator is saturated (at max limit). Standard PID calculates d(Error)/dt. This library calculates ...

Is the Arduino Uno Q the missing piece in your next project? With its hybrid design that fuses the precision of a microcontroller with the flexibility of a Linux-based single-board computer, this ...

Wind turbine control systems have evolved significantly over the past decades, moving from simple classical controllers to sophisticated artificial intelligence-based strategies. Early utility-scale ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Low-code and modular programming environments are transforming PLC programming, with vendors providing pre-packaged libraries and objects that eliminate traditional IEC-61131-3 style coding, allowing ...

An artificial-intelligence model did something last month that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down. Nonprofit AI lab Palisade Research gave OpenAI’s o3 ...

Newark Liberty International Airport is “not safe” for travelers, one air traffic controller at the delay-plagued travel hub reportedly warned. “It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now ...

Abstract: Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers play a crucial role in the aerospace industry, ensuring the safety, precision and reliability of various systems. These controllers ...
