I took a control systems theory class in college, but I never quite saw the value of it at the time (which, I&#8217;ve come around now that I&#8217;ve seen some practical applications). So, to understand how it works more, I created this spreadsheet with adjustable P\/I\/D parameters.\u00a0 I found this to be a useful tool in understanding the output of a PID control system.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, its strictly an ideal model and not particularly realistic (try setting the P parameter to 1)&#8230; but its primarily useful for getting that basic understanding.
