Article: Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Control
Proportional integral derivative control is used extensively in
industry to control machinery and maintain working environments. In
this highly anticipated article from our own Ben Rowland goes into
the details of PID control, how it works and how you can implement it
into your own projects. Flowcode examples are also provided as Ben
demonstrates how he used an EB058 graphical LCD, an EB020 Motor board
and PID control techniques to manipulate a DC Lego motor.
"When controlling a real system such as a motor there is normally an
error between the speed you wish to drive the motor at and the speed
the motor is running. This is due in part to the fact that the motor
will take time to respond and also due to the fact that the load on
the motor can change. Adding some kind of feedback to the system..."

Two new user generated articles to help turn your ideas into reality
Our new Article Zone features two new articles that have been
generated by users of our products. These articles share a common
theme - using Matrix's hardware and software to aid in the design and
development of a working product. As a thank you, we have offered
them each £150 worth of free Matrix products. If you too would like
to have an article published on our website (and perhaps earn some
freebies in the process!), please contact us with your ideas.
- Seeing an idea manifest itself into a fully working creation is
always satisfying, however so many good ideas go to waste due to
restraints like time, cost and quality. In this article Jan offers
some possible solutions to help see those sparks of creativity become
reality. Read this article. - http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/article.php?a=56
- The second user-generated article this month comes from forum
contributor Tharowat Mohamed Ali (aka "misoct") who describes how he
has used Matrix's Flowcode and ECIO products to create a commercial
datalogging tool. Read this article. - http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/article.php?a=58

and hope to have more news for you next month. In the meantime please
take a look at our new E-blocks Accessories section where you will

systems, cables etc. You can see this at:
