[Jason] learned a lot by successfully automating this meat smoker. This is just the first step in [Jason’s] smoker project. He decided to begin by hacking a cheaper charcoal-fed unit first, before ...

At Maker Faire Milwaukee this past weekend, [basement tech] was showing off his latest build, a PID controlled charcoal grill. While it hasn’t QUITE been tested yet with real food, it does work in ...

I built an electric oven using salvaged parts from a toaster and added a PID controller for consistent temperature. This oven can reach up to 300°C, making it ideal for tempering knives and melting ...

Well designed conventional PID controllers using Ziegler-Nichols method are having large overshoot and settling time. Significant research work has been carried out to improve the performance of ...

I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

The pCon with OPC is a Windows® software-based multiloop autotune gain-scheduled temperature/process PID controller with integrated configurable HMI operator interface touch screens. It uses Excel ...

(Editor's additional note: if you are not familiar with the principles and analysis of PID control: you should be; It is the most important, studied, understandable, and applied closed-loop control ...
