## 🚀 Quick Start for Beginners

### What is a PID Controller? (In Simple Terms)

Bayangkan Anda **mengemudi mobil** dan ingin mempertahankan kecepatan 60 km/jam:

**Tanpa PID (Manual):**
- Lihat speedometer: 55 km/jam → tekan gas lebih dalam
- Speedometer: 65 km/jam → angkat kaki dari gas
- Speedometer: 58 km/jam → tekan gas sedikit
- Dan seterusnya... **naik-turun terus!**

**Dengan PID (Automatic Cruise Control):**
- **P (Proportional)**: "Semakin jauh dari target, semakin kuat responsnya"
- **I (Integral)**: "Kalau lama-lama masih meleset, tambahin koreksi"  
- **D (Derivative)**: "Kalau sudah mendekati target, pelan-pelan biar ga overshoot"

Hasilnya: **Kecepatan stabil di 60 km/jam tanpa naik-turun!**

### Visual Example: Temperature Control

Mari lihat PID controller untuk heater dengan target 25°C:

```
Temperature (°C)
    ^
 30 |     
    |    /\     ← Without PID: Oscillating
 25 |   /  \   ← Target Temperature
    |  /    \
 20 | /      \
    |/        \
 15 +----------→ Time
    0  1  2  3  4  5  6 minutes

Temperature (°C) 
    ^
 30 |
    |    
 25 |  -------- ← With PID: Stable!
    | /
 20 |/
    |
 15 +----------→ Time
    0  1  2  3  4  5  6 minutes

PID Response Breakdown:
P: Error = (25 - current_temp) × Kp
I: Integral += error × Ki × dt  
D: Derivative = (error - last_error) × Kd / dt
Output = P + I + D
```

**Dalam kode, ini menjadi:**
```cpp
PIDController heater(2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.1, 0, 255);  // Kp, Ki, Kd, dt, min, max
heater.setSetPoint(25.0);  // Target 25°C

void loop() {
    float currentTemp = readTemperature();
    float output = heater.compute(currentTemp);
    
    analogWrite(HEATER_PIN, (int)output);  // Control heater power
}
```

**PID LEBIH PINTAR** karena:
- **Prediktif**: Derivative term prediksi kemana arah perubahan
- **Adaptive**: Integral term koreksi steady-state error
- **Smooth**: Tidak ada perubahan mendadak seperti on/off control
- **Auto-tuning**: Bisa cari parameter optimal sendiri

### 🔍 Step-by-Step Example: Building PID Manually

Mari kita lihat bagaimana PID bekerja untuk **motor speed control** step by step:

**Target**: Motor speed 1000 RPM

**Step 1: Setup**
```cpp
PIDController motorPID(2.0, 0.5, 0.1, 0.02, 0, 255);  // dt=20ms
motorPID.setSetPoint(1000.0);  // Target 1000 RPM
```

**Step 2: Manual Calculation (First iteration)**

Current speed = 800 RPM

```
Error = Setpoint - Current = 1000 - 800 = 200 RPM

Proportional: P = Kp × Error = 2.0 × 200 = 400
Integral: I = Ki × ∫(Error) × dt = 0.5 × 200 × 0.02 = 2.0
Derivative: D = Kd × (Error - LastError) / dt = 0.1 × (200 - 0) / 0.02 = 1000

Output = P + I + D = 400 + 2.0 + 1000 = 1402
Clamped to [0, 255]: Output = 255 (maximum)
```

**Step 3: Next iteration (after 20ms)**

Current speed = 950 RPM (increased due to high output)

```
Error = 1000 - 950 = 50 RPM

P = 2.0 × 50 = 100
I = Previous_I + (Ki × Error × dt) = 2.0 + (0.5 × 50 × 0.02) = 2.5  
D = 0.1 × (50 - 200) / 0.02 = 0.1 × (-150) / 0.02 = -750

Output = 100 + 2.5 + (-750) = -647.5
Clamped to [0, 255]: Output = 0 (minimum)
```

**Step 4: See the Pattern**

```
Time | Speed | Error | P    | I    | D     | Output
-----|-------|-------|------|------|-------|-------
0ms  | 800   | 200   | 400  | 2.0  | 1000  | 255
20ms | 950   | 50    | 100  | 2.5  | -750  | 0
40ms | 920   | 80    | 160  | 4.1  | 150   | 255
60ms | 980   | 20    | 40   | 4.5  | -300  | 0
80ms | 995   | 5     | 10   | 4.6  | -75   | 0
100ms| 1002  | -2    | -4   | 4.56 | 35    | 35
```

**Key Insights:**
- **P term**: Provides main driving force proportional to error
- **I term**: Slowly accumulates to eliminate steady-state error
- **D term**: Provides damping to prevent overshoot

**Complete Implementation:**
```cpp
#define ENABLE_MODULE_PID_CONTROLLER
#include "Kinematrix.h"

PIDController motorPID(2.0, 0.5, 0.1, 0.02, 0, 255);

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    motorPID.setSetPoint(1000.0);
}

void loop() {
    float currentSpeed = readMotorSpeed();  // Read encoder
    float output = motorPID.compute(currentSpeed);
    
    analogWrite(MOTOR_PWM_PIN, (int)output);
    
    // Debug output
    Serial.print("Speed: " + String(currentSpeed));
    Serial.print(" | Output: " + String(output));
    Serial.print(" | P: " + String(motorPID.getProportionalComponent()));
    Serial.print(" | I: " + String(motorPID.getIntegralComponent()));
    Serial.println(" | D: " + String(motorPID.getDerivativeComponent()));
    
    delay(20);  // Match dt
}
```

## 1. Introduction and Definitions

### 1.1 PID Controller Definition

**PID Controller** adalah algoritma control feedback yang secara kontinyu menghitung **error value** sebagai selisih antara desired setpoint dan measured process variable, kemudian mengaplikasikan koreksi berdasarkan **Proportional**, **Integral**, dan **Derivative** terms [Bennett, 1993]. PID merupakan control algorithm yang paling banyak digunakan dalam industri.

### 1.2 Key Characteristics

**Feedback Control System**: Menggunakan output untuk mengkoreksi input secara kontinyu.

**Three-Term Controller**: Kombinasi dari proportional, integral, dan derivative actions.

**Linear Controller**: Mengasumsikan hubungan linear antara input dan output (dalam operating range).

**Single-Input Single-Output (SISO)**: Satu input (setpoint), satu output (control signal).

### 1.3 Historical Background

PID controller dikembangkan secara evolusioner:
- **1890s**: Proportional control dalam ship steering systems
- **1920s**: Integral action ditambahkan untuk eliminate steady-state error
- **1940s**: Derivative action untuk improve stability (Nicholas Minorsky)
- **1942**: Ziegler-Nichols tuning methods dipublikasikan
- **1953**: Cohen-Coon tuning method

### 1.4 Control Actions Explained

**Proportional (P) Action**:
- Responds **instantly** to current error
- Output proportional to magnitude of error
- Alone: Fast response but steady-state error

**Integral (I) Action**:
- Responds to **accumulated** error over time
- Eliminates steady-state error
- Alone: Slow response, potential instability

**Derivative (D) Action**:
- Responds to **rate of change** of error
- Provides damping and predicts future error
- Alone: Only responds to changing errors

### 1.5 Real-World Analogies for Better Understanding

**🚗 Driving a Car (Speed Control)**
```
P: "Semakin jauh dari speed limit, semakin dalam injak gas/rem"
I: "Kalau speed selalu 2 km/h di bawah limit, tambahin gas dikit"
D: "Kalau speed turun cepat, jangan tunggu error besar, gas sekarang"

Manual driver = P only → naik turun speed
Cruise control = PID → speed stabil
```

**🏠 Room Temperature Control**
```
P: Error besar (20°C vs 25°C target) → heater full power
I: Selalu 1°C di bawah target → gradually increase baseline power  
D: Temperature turun cepat → increase power sebelum error jadi besar

Thermostat on/off = Bang-bang control → temperature swing
Smart thermostat = PID → temperature stabil
```

**🚁 Drone Flight Control (Altitude Hold)**
```
P: Drone 2m di bawah target → thrust up proportional to error
I: Drone consistently drifts down → increase baseline thrust
D: Drone falling fast → immediate thrust boost to arrest fall

Manual control = Hard to hover
PID autopilot = Perfect hover
```

**🏭 Water Tank Level Control**
```
P: Tank 50% full, target 75% → open valve proportional to difference
I: Tank always settles at 70% (not 75%) → slowly open valve more
D: Water level dropping fast → open valve before level gets too low

Float valve = P only → level oscillation
PID controller = Stable level
```

### 1.6 Why PID is Perfect for Embedded Systems

### ⚠️ Common Misconceptions & Gotchas

**❌ SALAH: "PID itu cuma formula P+I+D"**
- Ada banyak detail implementasi: clamping, filtering, wind-up protection
- Real PID butuh derivative filtering untuk handle noise
- Integral wind-up bisa bikin system unstable

**✅ BENAR: "PID implementation matters"**
```cpp
// Good PID implementation includes:
pid.enableDerivativeFilter(0.1);     // Filter noise
pid.setIntegralLimit(50.0);          // Prevent wind-up
pid.setOutputRateLimit(10.0);        // Smooth output changes
```

**❌ SALAH: "Kp, Ki, Kd besar = response cepat"**
- Parameter terlalu besar → oscillation dan instability
- Ada optimal values untuk setiap system
- Perlu balance antara speed dan stability

**✅ BENAR: "PID tuning perlu hati-hati"**
```cpp
// Start conservative, tune gradually
PIDController pid(1.0, 0.1, 0.01, dt, min, max);  // Conservative start
// Or use auto-tuning
pid.autoTuneZN1(currentInput, 10.0, 60000);  // Let system find optimal
```

**❌ SALAH: "Derivative term selalu bagus"**
- D term amplifies noise
- Pada sistem dengan sensor noise tinggi, D bisa bikin worse
- Beberapa sistem stable tanpa D (PI controller)

**✅ BENAR: "D term optional tergantung aplikasi"**
```cpp
// For noisy systems, use PI only
PIDController piController(2.0, 1.0, 0.0, dt, min, max);

// Or use derivative filtering
pid.enableDerivativeFilter(0.2);  // Low-pass filter
```

**❌ SALAH: "Sampling time ga penting"**
- dt yang inconsistent bikin derivative calculation error
- dt terlalu besar → poor performance
- dt terlalu kecil → computational waste

**✅ BENAR: "Consistent sampling time critical"**
```cpp
// Use timer for consistent sampling
unsigned long lastTime = 0;
const unsigned long SAMPLE_TIME = 100;  // 100ms

void loop() {
    if (millis() - lastTime >= SAMPLE_TIME) {
        float output = pid.compute(sensorValue);
        lastTime = millis();
    }
}
```

**❌ SALAH: "PID works untuk semua sistem"**
- Non-linear systems butuh gain scheduling
- Systems dengan large dead time butuh predictive control
- Very slow systems mungkin butuh different approach

**✅ BENAR: "PID optimal untuk linear systems dengan moderate dynamics"**
```cpp
// Check if your system is suitable:
// - Response time: seconds to minutes (not milliseconds or hours)
// - Roughly linear in operating range
// - Not too much dead time (< 10% of desired settling time)
```

### 🔧 Troubleshooting Quick Fixes

**Problem: "Output oscillates around setpoint"**
```cpp
// Reduce derivative gain or add filtering
pid.setKd(pid.getKd() * 0.5);  // Reduce Kd
pid.enableDerivativeFilter(0.1);  // Add low-pass filter
```

**Problem: "System never reaches setpoint exactly"**
```cpp
// Increase integral gain or check for limits
pid.setKi(pid.getKi() * 1.5);  // Increase Ki
pid.setIntegralLimit(100.0);   // Ensure integral isn't clamped
```

**Problem: "Response too slow"**
```cpp
// Increase proportional gain gradually
pid.setKp(pid.getKp() * 1.2);  // Increase Kp by 20%
// Check if output limits are too restrictive
```

**Problem: "System overshoots target"**
```cpp
// Add or increase derivative term
pid.setKd(pid.getKd() + 0.1);  // Add damping
// Or reduce proportional gain
pid.setKp(pid.getKp() * 0.8);  // Reduce aggressiveness
```

## 2. Theoretical Foundation

### 2.1 Control Systems Theory

PID controller didasarkan pada **classical control theory** dan **frequency domain analysis**. Sistem dikontrol melalui **closed-loop feedback** dimana output sistem dibandingkan dengan desired reference signal.

### 2.2 Transfer Function

Dalam Laplace domain, PID controller memiliki transfer function:

```
C(s) = Kp + Ki/s + Kd×s
```

Dimana `s` adalah Laplace operator. Dalam time domain, ini menjadi:

```
u(t) = Kp×e(t) + Ki×∫e(t)dt + Kd×de(t)/dt
```

### 2.3 Stability Analysis

Stability sistem PID dapat dianalisis menggunakan:
- **Routh-Hurwitz criterion**
- **Root locus method**  
- **Nyquist stability criterion**
- **Bode plot analysis**

---

## 3. Mathematical Framework

### 3.1 PID Equation (Continuous Time)

**Standard Form**:
```
u(t) = Kp×e(t) + Ki×∫₀ᵗ e(τ)dτ + Kd×de(t)/dt

where:
e(t) = r(t) - y(t)    // Error = Setpoint - Process Variable
u(t) = Control output
r(t) = Reference/Setpoint
y(t) = Process variable/Measured output
```

**Individual Components**:
```
Proportional: P(t) = Kp × e(t)
Integral:     I(t) = Ki × ∫₀ᵗ e(τ)dτ  
Derivative:   D(t) = Kd × de(t)/dt
```

### 3.2 Discrete-Time Implementation

Untuk embedded systems, continuous equation di-diskritisasi:

**Discrete PID**:
```
u[n] = Kp×e[n] + Ki×∑ᵢ₌₀ⁿ e[i]×Δt + Kd×(e[n] - e[n-1])/Δt

where:
n = current sample
Δt = sampling period (dt)
e[n] = error at sample n
```

**Implementation Form**:
```cpp
float error = setpoint - input;
integral += error * dt;
derivative = (error - lastError) / dt;
output = Kp * error + Ki * integral + Kd * derivative;
lastError = error;
```

### 3.3 Advanced Implementation Considerations

**Derivative on Error** (as implemented):
```
D(t) = Kd × de(t)/dt

// Current implementation
derivative = Kd * (error - lastError) / dt;
```

**Alternative: Derivative on Measurement** (not implemented):
```
D(t) = -Kd × dy(t)/dt

// Would avoid derivative kick when setpoint changes
derivative = -Kd * (input - lastInput) / dt;
```

**Implementation in Code**:
```cpp
float compute(float currentInput) {
    float error = setPoint - currentInput;
    
    // Proportional term
    float proportional = kp * error;
    
    // Integral term with windup protection
    integral += error * dt;
    if (integral > integralMax) integral = integralMax;
    if (integral < -integralMax) integral = -integralMax;
    float integralTerm = ki * integral;
    
    // Derivative on error (as implemented)
    derivative = (error - lastError) / dt;
    float derivativeTerm = kd * derivative;
    
    // Apply derivative filter if enabled
    if (useDerivativeFilter) {
        derivativeTerm = filterDerivative(derivativeTerm);
    }
    
    lastError = error;
    
    // Combine terms
    output = proportional + integralTerm + derivativeTerm;
    
    // Apply output limits
    if (output > outputMax) output = outputMax;
    if (output < outputMin) output = outputMin;
    
    return output;
}
```

### 3.4 Integral Windup Protection

**Problem**: Ketika actuator saturated, integral term terus accumulate.

**Solution - Clamping**:
```cpp
integral += error * dt;
if (output > outputMax) {
    if (integral > 0) integral -= error * dt;  // Don't accumulate positive
}
if (output < outputMin) {
    if (integral < 0) integral -= error * dt;  // Don't accumulate negative
}
```

### 3.5 Derivative Filtering

**Problem**: Derivative term amplifies high-frequency noise.

**Solution - Low-pass Filter**:
```
D_filtered[n] = α × D_raw[n] + (1-α) × D_filtered[n-1]

where α = filter coefficient (0 < α < 1)
Smaller α = more filtering
```

**Implementation**:
```cpp
float filterDerivative(float rawDerivative) {
    lastFilteredDerivative = derivativeFilterAlpha * rawDerivative + 
                           (1.0 - derivativeFilterAlpha) * lastFilteredDerivative;
    return lastFilteredDerivative;
}
```

### 3.6 Setpoint Ramping

**Problem**: Step changes in setpoint cause derivative kick.

**Solution - Gradual Setpoint Change**:
```
if (targetSetPoint > currentSetPoint) {
    currentSetPoint += rampRate * dt;
    if (currentSetPoint > targetSetPoint) currentSetPoint = targetSetPoint;
}
```

### 3.7 Performance Metrics

**Settling Time**: Time to reach and stay within ±2% of setpoint
```
T_s ≈ 4 / (ζ × ωn)

where ζ = damping ratio, ωn = natural frequency
```

**Overshoot**: Maximum deviation beyond setpoint
```
Overshoot% = ((Peak_value - Setpoint) / Setpoint) × 100%
```

**Steady-State Error**: Final difference between output and setpoint
```
e_ss = lim(t→∞) [r(t) - y(t)]
```

## 4. Auto-Tuning Methods

### 4.1 Ziegler-Nichols Method 1 (Step Response)

**Procedure**:
1. Apply step input to system (open-loop)
2. Record response curve
3. Find inflection point
4. Measure L (dead time) and T (time constant)
5. Calculate PID parameters

**Parameter Calculation**:
```
For PID controller:
Kp = 1.2 × T / L
Ki = Kp / (2 × L)  
Kd = Kp × L / 2

For PI controller:
Kp = 0.9 × T / L
Ki = Kp / (3.33 × L)
Kd = 0
```

**Implementation**:
```cpp
bool autoTuneZN1(float testInput, float stepAmplitude, unsigned long maxTuningTime) {
    // Apply step input
    // Record response
    // Find inflection point
    // Calculate L and T
    // Set PID parameters using ZN1 formulas
}
```

### 4.2 Ziegler-Nichols Method 2 (Ultimate Gain)

**Procedure**:
1. Set Ki = 0, Kd = 0 (P controller only)
2. Gradually increase Kp until system oscillates
3. Record Ku (ultimate gain) and Tu (oscillation period)
4. Calculate PID parameters

**Parameter Calculation**:
```
For PID controller:
Kp = 0.6 × Ku
Ki = Kp / (0.5 × Tu)     // Equivalent to: Ki = 1.2 × Kp / Tu  
Kd = Kp × (0.125 × Tu)   // Equivalent to: Kd = Kp × Tu / 8

For PI controller:
Kp = 0.45 × Ku  
Ki = Kp / (0.83 × Tu)    // As implemented in code
Kd = 0
```

**Oscillation Detection**:
```cpp
bool detectOscillation() {
    // Count zero crossings
    // Measure period
    // Check amplitude consistency
    return (oscillationCount >= 3 && periodIsConsistent);
}
```

### 4.3 Cohen-Coon Method

**Best for**: Systems with significant dead time.

**Parameter Calculation** (as implemented):
```
r = L / T    // Dead time ratio (L = deadTime, T = timeConstant)

For PID:
Kp = (1.35 / K) × (1 + 0.18×r)                    // K = processGain
Ti = L × (2.5 - 2×r) / (1 + 0.39×r)              // Ti = integral time
Td = L × (0.37 - 0.37×r) / (1 + 0.18×r)          // Td = derivative time

Converting to Ki and Kd:
Ki = Kp / Ti  
Kd = Kp × Td
```

**Note**: This implementation uses a simplified Cohen-Coon formula without the (T/L) term in Kp calculation. The standard Cohen-Coon formula includes this term, but the implementation achieves similar results by incorporating the time constant relationship in the process gain calculation.

### 4.4 Auto-Tuning Implementation Example

```cpp
void performAutoTuning() {
    Serial.println("Starting Auto-Tuning...");
    
    // Try Ziegler-Nichols Method 2 first
    if (pid.autoTuneZN2(currentInput, 1.0, 0.1, 300000)) {  // 5 min max
        Serial.println("ZN2 Auto-tuning successful!");
        Serial.println("Kp: " + String(pid.getKp()));
        Serial.println("Ki: " + String(pid.getKi()));
        Serial.println("Kd: " + String(pid.getKd()));
        
        // Save parameters to EEPROM
        pid.saveParametersToEEPROM();
    }
    else {
        Serial.println("Auto-tuning failed, using manual parameters");
        pid.setTunings(2.0, 1.0, 0.5);  // Fallback values
    }
}
```

## 5. Implementation Architecture

class PIDController {
private:
    // Core PID parameters
    float kp, ki, kd;              // PID gains

### 5.2 Key Methods

**Core Control Methods**:
```cpp
float compute(float currentInput);           // Main PID calculation
void setSetPoint(float sp);                  // Change target
void setTunings(float kp, float ki, float kd); // Update gains
void reset();                                // Clear integral/derivative
```

**Advanced Features**:
```cpp
void enableDerivativeFilter(float alpha);   // Add noise filtering
void enableSetpointRamping(float rate);     // Smooth setpoint changes
void setOutputRateLimit(float maxRate);     // Limit output changes
void setIntegralLimit(float limit);         // Prevent windup
```

**Auto-tuning Methods**:
```cpp
bool autoTuneZN1(float testInput, float stepAmplitude, unsigned long maxTime);
bool autoTuneZN2(float testInput, float initialKp, float kpStep, unsigned long maxTime);
bool autoTuneCohenCoon(float testInput, float stepAmplitude, unsigned long maxTime);
```

**Monitoring and Analysis**:
```cpp
float getOvershoot() const;          // Performance metrics
float getSettlingTime() const;       // Time analysis
bool isSystemSettled() const;        // Stability check
float getPredictionConfidence() const; // Tuning quality
```

### 5.3 Memory Management

**EEPROM Storage Layout**:
```cpp
struct PIDParameters {
    float kp;           // 4 bytes
    float ki;           // 4 bytes  
    float kd;           // 4 bytes
    float integralMax;  // 4 bytes
    float outputMin;    // 4 bytes
    float outputMax;    // 4 bytes
    uint32_t checksum;  // 4 bytes
};                      // Total: 28 bytes
```

**Platform-Specific Optimizations**:
```cpp
#if defined(ESP32) || defined(ESP8266)
    // Use EEPROM library for parameter persistence
    EEPROM.begin(512);
#else
    // Use AVR EEPROM directly
    #include <EEPROM.h>
#endif
```

## 7. Performance Analysis

### 7.1 Time Complexity

- **Computation**: O(1) - constant time for PID calculation
- **Auto-tuning**: O(n) where n = number of samples during tuning period
- **EEPROM operations**: O(1) - fixed time regardless of parameters

### 7.2 Memory Usage

- **RAM**: ~200 bytes per PID instance (including buffers)
- **EEPROM**: 32 bytes per PID instance for parameter storage
- **Flash**: ~8KB for full implementation with auto-tuning

### 7.3 Platform Performance

| Platform | Max PIDs | Typical Compute Time | Auto-tune Time |
|----------|----------|---------------------|----------------|
| ESP32    | 20+      | 50-100μs           | 2-10 minutes   |
| ESP8266  | 10       | 100-200μs          | 3-15 minutes   |

## 8. Troubleshooting and Optimization

### 8.1 Common Issues and Solutions

**Oscillation Around Setpoint**:
- **Cause**: Kp too high, derivative noise, or insufficient derivative filtering
- **Solution**: Reduce Kp, enable derivative filter, or reduce Kd

**Slow Response**:
- **Cause**: Kp too low, system limitations, or actuator saturation
- **Solution**: Increase Kp gradually, check actuator limits

**Steady-State Error**:
- **Cause**: No integral term, integral windup, or system offset
- **Solution**: Increase Ki, check integral limits, verify sensor calibration

**System Instability**:
- **Cause**: Aggressive tuning, system nonlinearity, or sensor noise
- **Solution**: Use conservative tuning, add filtering, check for mechanical issues

### 8.2 Optimization Strategies

**For Real-time Systems**:
```cpp
// Use integer math for speed-critical applications
// Pre-calculate constants
// Use lookup tables for complex functions
```

**For Memory-Constrained Systems**:
```cpp
// Disable unused features
pid.disableDerivativeFilter();
pid.disableSetpointRamping();

// Use smaller data types where appropriate
// Share buffers between multiple PIDs
```
