Hi, Has anyone got any code or info on PID controllers. You know the feedback loop for speed contollers. There are a couple of us building a table mill (3D milling machine) and I'm doing the spindle motor drive. We have rs232 going in and servo output going out to a brushless motor speed controller. But would like a PID to keep the speed of the cutting bit constant.
Cheers Bones

Here's a URL that I found: www.engin.umich.edu/group/ctm/PID/PID.htmlIt's a tutorial that uses MatLab, but the equations are shown as per normal mathematics so it shouldn't be too hard to write your own code... This PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control stuff looks like it could be useful for motor drives of all sorts.
