Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robotic arm uses the PID formula with Kp=3, Ki=0.2, and Kd=1.5. If the current error is 4, what is the output? Assume an accumulated error of 10 and a change in error of 2 over 1 second.
💡 Hint: Plug the values into the PID formula step by step.
Determine the impact of increasing Kd in a system with significant overshoot. What would happen to the system's stability and responsiveness?
💡 Hint: Think about how damping affects system dynamics.
