Just wondering if we have any control theory people here. I haven't met anyone who knows it yet, in real life or online. I've been studying it since November and it's finally starting to click. It's not the most straight forward subject. I have learned how to do some tuning of PID loops with the help of Matlab. I'm not a pro, but I've been able to get some stuff I've been working on tuned pretty well, including a cascaded PI loop which can be quite challenging.
I'm currently trying to process the root locus method to assist with studying the math and system stability.
So has anyone else visited the world of control theory here? It's an amazing subject. It's possible to perform all kinds of cool tricks with this skill. Building a box that can perform an automatic wheelie while a control loop that compensates for disturbances such as weight shift while maintaining a set angle becomes a reality. I'm after bigger fish though, but I'll probably circle back around to the auto wheelie idea in the future. Only so many hours in a day to do what we enjoy.
