PID controller ...

Hi there...
Its been almost an year I posted on my blog. Though had loads to share, couldn't... Was quite busy with assignments at Germany and Bangalore.You hardly find time for personal stuff after you get into "IT life".M not scaring you, its just a mere fact!!!
Now, coming over to that part where we all are interested in - ROBOTICS. :)
This post gives u a glimpse at PID controller (most of the 3rd years - engg must hav been familiar with this word). If not you can google it for the basic info. All the books and search engines give you an idea of what it is, its usage and the best they can tell you is explain its mechanism through graphs. In short, theory.N the next question that arises is - how do we implement it for our applications???
I came across an application note recently on how to implement a PID controller in a microcontroller from Microchip.I found it interesting n informative. Though its explained using a PIC18 MCU, the concept can be used with any controller.

M including the link for your benefit.

Hope you'll find the answer for the question through it.
