A PID Loop is a control feedback loop. "PID" stands for Proportional, Integral, and Derivative -- the three terms of the loop. With this website, you can simulate the effects of a PID loop on a motorized pendulum
| Parameter Name | Parameter Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| P Term Gain | The gain factor for the proportional term. | |
| I Term Gain | The gain factor for the integral term. | |
| D Term Gain | The gain factor for the derivative term. | |
| Goal Angle | The angle the motor controller will try to put the pendulum at, from 0 to 360 degrees. | |
| Initial Angle | The initial angle of the pendulum, from 0 to 360 degrees. | |
| Pendulum Weight | The weight of the pendulum, in kg. All weight is assumed to be in the center of the weight (none in the shaft connecting it to the motor). |
|
| Pendulum Length | The length of the pendulum, in cm. |
