A Universal Windows Runtime Component that implements a very simple proportional-integral-derivative controller.

1. In Visual Studio select File -> New -> Project

2. Select your language of choice. The PID Controller is a Universal Windows Runtime Component, meaning it is compatable with C++, C#, or JavaScript.

3. Select the "Windows" option under the language you selected and choose "Blank App (Universal Windows)".

1. Clone the PID Controller repository or download the zip file.

2. Right-click on your solution in the Solution Explorer and select Add -> Existing Project

3. Navigate to your local copy of the PID Controller repository and select PidController.csproj

4. Right-click on References in your main project within the solution. Select Add Reference

5. Under the "Projects" tab, select PidController

6. Rebuild your solution by selecting Build -> Rebuild All

For an example of this code being used to control motor RPM see our Closed-Loop Control Demo.

PidController controller = new PidController(float GainProportional, float GainIntegral, float GainDerivative, float OutputMax, float OutputMin);

• GainProportional - The proportional gain in the feedback loop
• GainIntegral - The integral gain in the feedback loop
• GainDerivative - The derivative gain in the feedback loop
• OutputMax - The maximum value the ControlVariable property can return
• OutputMin - The minimum value the ControlVariable property can return

There are lots of resources online for learning how to tune a PID controller. For a quick primer see the Wikipedia entry on manual tuning.
