PID Control Explained: The Ultimate Guide from Basics to Implementation!

In this video, I explain the basics of PID control showing you how to build and tune a practical control loop. I describe the Proportional, Integral, and Derivative components, breaking down how each contributes to system stability and control. To demonstrate the concepts, I build a simple control loop using a Raspberry Pi PICO, resistive heater and thermocouple. By varying the constants Kp, Ki, and Kd I demonstrate how to tune the system, explaining overdamped, underdamped and critically damped responses.
