FPV drone tuning has moved from slow manual adjustments to fast, precise optimization with AI tools like FPVtune and simulation platforms such as MATLAB & Simulink. Pilots can refine PID gains, filter ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Average current-mode control, as shown in Figure 1, is common in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) power factor correction (PFC). It has two loops: a voltage loop that works as an outer loop and a ...

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; eventually you ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Abstract: Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers remain a widely adopted solution in the field of control systems due to their simplicity, flexibility, and ability to control a wide range ...

Singapore-based AI startup Sapient Intelligence has developed a new AI architecture that can match, and in some cases vastly outperform, large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, all ...

In the latest post of the Ask the Automation Pros blog series, the pros explore how to deal with interacting PID loops. I kept thinking “what aren’t the sources?!” A plant is full to the brim with ...
