PID Control - Introduction to Developing and Tuning

PID Control is essential to consistent autonomous programs and can enhance your driver control capabilities. However, oftentimes people struggle to wrap their heads around PID and scare themselves away. In this “module” we’ll show you the curtain of PID and by the end of these lessons, you should be able to program and implement your own PID controller.
