Learn to write your own control software while learning fundamental control theory.
In this course you’ll learn how to implement a PID controller in software. You will understand when the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative components of the controller should and shouldn’t be used.

Requirements
In this course you’ll learn how to implement a PID controller in software. You will understand when the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative components of the controller should and shouldn’t be used.
The physics of an elevator are simulated to allow you the opportunity to write control software and see how it performs. The simulator will also give you hands on experience with debugging and tuning a controller, two very important aspects for a real system.
