Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a PID controller for a thermostat to maintain a temperature of 72°F in a room. What might your K_p, K_i, and K_d values start at, and how would you tune them?
💡 Hint: Consider the responsiveness of your control system when selecting values.
You observe a motor controlled by PID is oscillating around the setpoint. What adjustments in K_p, K_i, or K_d would you recommend to dampen this oscillation?
💡 Hint: Think about the roles each tuning parameter plays in system stability.
