I saw this video for the first time a couple of years ago when I started with Arduino and I come back to it today april 2020. I have a background as chemical engineer and seeing PID like this inspired me very much. Now I'm finally going to try this myself and master some Home-PID stuff. Thanks for the inspiration!
You're welcome! Good ideas need time to grow! I hope to find time to dive deeper into PID in the near future with my series about "Physical Computing".
Many, many thanks for a very inspiring video! This is RUclips at its finest! You have given me many ideas for projects around the house, including directional ADS-B antenna motors for monitoring aircraft traffic. I have much to learn, and you are a wonderful teacher!
1. In depth explanations, many examples. 2. Comprehensive narration despite the strong accent. Most native english speakers could not be this simple btw! 3. Servo, PID, Engine, rotary encoder, Raspi, engine etc in one video. Damn! 4. No Windows/Mac and proprietary shits, open source all the way! 5.

Great video. Good to understand how integrals and derivatives work in code to help better control the servo. I learned something new. Been wondering when I will every use the calculus one and two guess I better keep those notes and books.
I appreciate the meticulous setup made from everyday components. Thats pure genius . To explain an exotic concept with simplest of things , thats where you have excelled . keep up the excellent work. Omska
General Wrex You're welcome! H bridges are essential devices in robotics which is why I have made a video showing the working principles: ruclips.net/video/SsB_ezlict4/видео.html
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing - one of the best youtube videos I've seen regarding electronics in general, and the best Arduino video I've ever seen by almost an order of magnitude. I was really impressed by the point to point wired H-bridge - superb!
Ant Mallett Thanks! Soldering the circuits in such a way that all devices are arranged clearly and similar to the drawn schematics is one of the points that make my videos eat a lot of time to create, but I think it's better than using breadboards. A good picture is worth a 1000 words.
Thanks for sharing such a brilliant video. after watching your videos and reading your blogs I have started small mechanical and electronics projects at home.
It's very mazing to follow your way to explain and demonstrate technical knowledge, that reflet a height level knowledge and concept in germany . good thinks for all lessons.
Very good video... I dotn mean to cause offense when i say; despite the evident language barrier this was exceptionally well explained. I'll be referring back to this video when i start building control circuits, thank you for taking the time to produce and upload it ^^
Alessio Yautja I indeed recognize that there is a language barrier each time I am recording the audio track of a new video so I don't mind if people refer to my German accent. I am trying to get better with each new video ;) Thanks in advance for sharing this video and maybe the project page that belongs to this chapter, too: www.homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en_navion.htm
I like hearing my native language spoken in other accents, I find that foriengers actually teach me more about my own language. They make me realise the subtle differences between words, instances of humor and just how difficult it is to learn English in general :D Your spoken English is superb though, I wish my German vocabulary and pronounciation were as good >.

HeathLedgersChemist I HAVE been back multiple times since that video about the Arduino. For example I told you how to do physical computing: ruclips.net/video/9Qumu2h8FjY/видео.html and my latest video is about a CNC machine composed of cheap materials made with simple tools: ruclips.net/video/mJ-TZvFpY58/видео.html The evolution of machines goes on...
Philip Gevaert Thanks! The video I am currently working on is about physical computing (amplifying digital signals and sinple sensoring). Stay tuned!I am tinkering in a small village located at the center of Germany.
Nice to hear there's more on the way. I visited your site, so yes I already knew you are located in Germany. But I was wondering where in Germany? I'm from Belgium, near Antwerp.
+arif anwari ...it's a promise I have kept multiple times before. My latest video will go online at the end of this week and it is about an upgrade of my CNC v2.0 - stay tuned!
How are you attaching the pot to the arm that makes it strong enough, centred, and not spin. It's hard to tell from the wiper motor video image. Thanks for the videos. Very professional looking.
andy parry My solution is far from being perfect. Since it is not exactly centered, the pot is attached with a pice of (flexible) wire. My skills in video editing are higher than my mechanical capabillyties ;) I have added a picture at my project page: www.homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en_navion.htm#PotentiometerMount
Very informative and thank you for such wonderful explanation. It would be great if you could share how did you achieve potentiometer readings with zero fluctuation(07:23). I have tried the same couple times, but the values from potentiometer were never so stable even after implementing low pass filter on the software as well as hardware side.
The potentiometer is a very large one with a wound resistance wire. The tiny carbon film potentiometers aren't that good. The input voltage should also be free from interferences. Batteries are a good voltage source. Finally I can't say for sure whether or not I had implemented a special software filter to get the stable output. I usually don't keep the source codes used for those short video sequences. I will talk about ADC input in a future video about "Physical Computing".
Thanks for your instant reply. The experiments I conducted were based on 10 turn Wire wound resistor from Bournns(uk.farnell.com/bourns/3590s-2-103l/potentiometer-10k-5-linear-2w/dp/1612611) . Could you please share the model number of the potentiometer in the video?
It was a potentiometer I salvaged from whatever old device. The label from the manufacturer is unfortunately no longer readable. ADCs usually show instability in the one or two least significant bits, so I guess I used some kind of software trick to get that stable display reading.
I was long waiting for your Video on servos controlled by Microcontroller. To my surprise you used my favorite microcontroller Arduino Uno. Would be great if you can explain about Software program/codes as well.
The source code is available at the project page: www.homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en_navion.htm Reading that code should be easy since the Arduino libraries do most of the job.
HomoFaciens Thank you very much for the codes. I was wondering if you could inform/send me the libraries link (for and ). I tried to find avr/io.h on google! but what I find is a code text. Sorry I am very beginner even to arduino and don't know how to use that.
Mohammad Baber Simply delete the two lines including the libraries and . They are relicts from my first first code lines around the wiper servo (before programing the Arduino I used AVR microcontrollers and I did the coding in assembler ).
Hi Norbert, really so much useful information in one video so, thanks again! It appears to me that the wiring diagram for your H bridge may not be correct. If so it is not of great importance as the message is clear but I thought you might like the feedback.
Brushed DC motors are more easy to control (you just have to connect them directly to a DC power supply). Brushless motors need an electronic control circuit to make them work. The advantage is that there is no wear on brushes in a brushless motor.
Help, how can I synchronise two dc motors. I am building a biped and each leg is a windscreen motor, I want to make sure the left motor does not get out of step position with the right leg. Any ideas gratefully received.
HomoFaciens I also want to become your trainee! By you are right, you videos are excellent source of information with visionary ideas getting realistic. And this all with simple components.
Yes, interrupts enable much faster processing. I will explain in more detail how things work in future videos. In my chapter about rotary encoders I am demonstrating how to control a printer paper feed with an Arduino, using interrupts: homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-encoder-disc_en.htm
Great video. you did a amazing job, keep it up. I was wondering how many times you must have changed the code and how many times you must have changed hardware. I have a question. How to get the waveform in you mac book? as you did at 14.50 min.
Trilok singh Thanks! That waveform was recorded using a USB oscilloscope type Hantek DSO2090. Here is my video about that device: ruclips.net/video/haGg4iS-pFw/видео.html Why using a mac book if Linux runs on cheaper and better hardware ;-)
you are genius. ..can I have the technical specifications and software of a wiber motor via potentiometer (the last revision with improved tourge and precise response ) ,I need to implement it ..thanks
+marine yard Did you have a look at the project page? www.homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en_navion.htm You can get the software in the download section.
Thanks alot for taking the time to respond. ..I saw the page after i comment. ..my problem is my servo is 24 vdc with 1kohm feedback resistor attached to it in addition the set point resistor that already exists is 5kohm ..the system is to control a woodword governor that drive the speed of an engine ... I guess one to do it is to use the motor drive BTS7960s you suggested as its rated voltage is 45vdc ..still thinking of a way to accommodate the resistors ..
+marine yard Sorry, but I don't understand what the trouble with the resistors is: You can use a 1kOhm as well as a 5kOhm potentiometer. Why do you talk about two different types?
buen proyecto pero creo que hay un error en el grafica tiempo 11:44 se ve que la salida 6 va los gate de los Mosfet verde y rojo simultaneamente habria un cortocircuito los mosfet verde deben prender juntos
The upüper MOSFETS are in fact P channel types. I accidentely painted the MOSFET arrow into the wrong direction, thus they are drawn as N channel - my bad!
hi the presented video is very useful. have you any idea about analog type of servo motor or digital? witch one is better? i see analog type before in your video collection.and what about use of encoder? witch one is best? thanks
Wich type of servo is best depends on your application. Analog servos are cheap, compact drives, digital servos are usually more expensive but have a higher accuracy and no jitter.
so i want to make a CNC machine. and i think the use of servo motor is better than stepper. but as i see in your video you use of microcontrollet to count each step(forward and backward). what happen if your motor turn fast? can microcontoller count encoder steps?
+reinux ...if I had one ;-) Maybe they need less clock cycles to display numbers. I will try those 7-segment BDCs in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
You can't connect them directly. You must build an amplifying circuit or an H-Bridge to control motors, I made a video about "Pyhsical Computing" showing the basics: ruclips.net/user/edit?o=U&video_id=9Qumu2h8FjY More videos about creating and controlling DIY peripherals will follow.
the old system is analog card designed with two types of resistance 1k for the feedback and 5k for the set point , I am not sure why ...I am trying to update the system with out replacing the servo motor as its attached to the governer with perfect fit
+marine yard Yes, a tight fit of the sensor servo is essential for precise movement. Maybe you must cut at least one of the pins to isolate the potentiometer from the old circuit.
***** There will be a video about communication between Computers / Microcontrollers sometime including a section about IR, but it won't be a straightforward HowTo for the Arduino. I guess there are already some great tutorials on RUclips or on the web, aren't they?
I need this code as you are sowing 06:12 controlling an H bridge, by rotating the encoder disk the other motor is rotating in the same direction and same speed.
You can't learn software by watching it - you must read the source code and try to understand the logic behind! You can get the source on my project page: homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en.htm ...and I will create chapters about "Physical Computing", explaining in more detail how my machines work - stay tuned!
yeah you right, i found most of the source code on your webpgae except the position controlling of the dc motor with pid. Do you mind to upload that code please
herantd You should tell me exactly what project you are talking about. I have done multiple projects with postion controlling of DC motors. The one of this video is named wiper_motor_servo.zip
That's what I have implemented in the wiper_motor_servo.zip - not perfectly. I will go in more details when starting the physical computing series - stay tuned!
The real question is, if this makes any sense for your application. Is there a reason why you think state-space would be an improvement over conventional PID control?
HomoFaciens We learned the theory behind state-space methods years ago in college. We ran a SS simulation in MatLab for a motor control system. The tracking error reduction was supurb. I'm interested in trying it myself just to see if i can achieve the same results. I think it would be a great learning experience. There is no particular high accuracy application. I just want to drive a permanent magnet DC Motor using state space methods only for "academic" purposes
Definitely something worth trying. Share the results of your experiments. I will keep the solid state method in mind for future videos about control loops.
I seek information about how one would integrate a Heidenhain glass scale TTL output into the Arduino. I have seen videos on how the step count is replaced with real numbers that are incremented according to the direction that the Heidenhain is reporting. That is an easy concept. However, I have not figured out nor have I seen anyone show how the TTL output for a 3 axis CNC can be put into the 3 axis output to the stepping motors. I understand that I need more input and output pins of the larger Arduino Mega 2560 R3 (It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs). It seems daunting or perhaps I am just terrified by the problem. Can you show me one axis output (I have seen that) and one axis input (I have NOT seen this)? Do you have this information in one of your videos that I have obviously have not watched? We bought an OpenBuilds C-Beam, and it became obvious that higher accuracy would be realized with minor changes that I have seen on large & expensive CNC machining centers, such as the glass scales. I have found that a Heidenhain set for 3 axis and a DRO can be purchased for ~~$300 which would increase the $1,000 value of the CNC machine tremendously. Louis DiFrancesco louisdifran@gmail.com 505 515 4700 Boston, MASS
+Louis DiFrancesco I don't have a Heidenhain linear sensor, nor a OpenBuilds C-Beam. Send me both and I might start coding, but don't expect to get it back ;-) A high quality sensor doesn't necessarily improve the accuracy of a CNC as it doesn't eliminate backlash nor deflections of the mechanics. It won't turn your cheap machine into a tremendous CNC.

HomoFaciens Thank you very much for the codes. I was wondering if you could inform/send me the libraries link (for and
).
I tried to find avr/io.h on google! but what I find is a code text. Sorry I am very beginner even to arduino and don't know how to use that.
Mohammad Baber
Simply delete the two lines including the libraries and . They are relicts from my first first code lines around the wiper servo (before programing the Arduino I used AVR microcontrollers and I did the coding in assembler ).
HomoFaciens Thanks. I already realized that without these libraries the code still works.
Hi Norbert, really so much useful information in one video so, thanks again! It appears to me that the wiring diagram for your H bridge may not be correct. If so it is not of great importance as the message is clear but I thought you might like the feedback.
Nobody is perfect. What error in which diagram at which time code of the video do you mean?
excellent video thanks for shareing
amazing project !
Are there reasons to use brushless DC motors instead of brushed DC motors? Overall which one is better?
Brushed DC motors are more easy to control (you just have to connect them directly to a DC power supply).
Brushless motors need an electronic control circuit to make them work. The advantage is that there is no wear on brushes in a brushless motor.
Help, how can I synchronise two dc motors.
I am building a biped and each leg is a windscreen motor, I want to make sure the left motor does not get out of step position with the right leg.
Any ideas gratefully received.
I can't find the video he refers to at 9:57. (How to build the servo)
Can someone help me?
Exellent video. well done.
great video. I would like to be your trainee for some days!
Thanks!
You are my trainee whenever you watch my videos ;)
HomoFaciens I also want to become your trainee! By you are right, you videos are excellent source of information with visionary ideas getting realistic. And this all with simple components.
were you polling the inputs, or using interrupts? i was under the impression that if you used interrupts it wouldn't skip pulses
Yes, interrupts enable much faster processing. I will explain in more detail how things work in future videos. In my chapter about rotary encoders I am demonstrating how to control a printer paper feed with an Arduino, using interrupts:

Was Arduino the best choice for this project?
For me, yes.
Great video. you did a amazing job, keep it up. I was wondering how many times you must have changed the code and how many times you must have changed hardware. I have a question. How to get the waveform in you mac book? as you did at 14.50 min.
Trilok singh Thanks! That waveform was recorded using a USB oscilloscope type Hantek DSO2090. Here is my video about that device:
ruclips.net/video/haGg4iS-pFw/видео.html
Why using a mac book if Linux runs on cheaper and better hardware ;-)
you are genius. ..can I have the technical specifications and software of a wiber motor via potentiometer (the last revision with improved tourge and precise response ) ,I need to implement it ..thanks
+marine yard
Did you have a look at the project page?
www.homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en_navion.htm
You can get the software in the download section.
Thanks alot for taking the time to respond. ..I saw the page after i comment. ..my problem is my servo is 24 vdc with 1kohm feedback resistor attached to it in addition the set point resistor that already exists is 5kohm ..the system is to control a woodword governor that drive the speed of an engine ... I guess one to do it is to use the motor drive BTS7960s you suggested as its rated voltage is 45vdc ..still thinking of a way to accommodate the resistors ..
+marine yard Sorry, but I don't understand what the trouble with the resistors is: You can use a 1kOhm as well as a 5kOhm potentiometer. Why do you talk about two different types?
buen proyecto pero creo que hay un error en el grafica tiempo 11:44 se ve que la salida 6 va los gate de los Mosfet verde y rojo simultaneamente habria un cortocircuito
los mosfet verde deben prender juntos
The upüper MOSFETS are in fact P channel types. I accidentely painted the MOSFET arrow into the wrong direction, thus they are drawn as N channel - my bad!
hi
the presented video is very useful. have you any idea about analog type of servo motor or digital? witch one is better?
i see analog type before in your video collection.and what about use of encoder? witch one is best?
thanks
Wich type of servo is best depends on your application. Analog servos are cheap, compact drives, digital servos are usually more expensive but have a higher accuracy and no jitter.
so i want to make a CNC machine. and i think the use of servo motor is better than stepper. but as i see in your video you use of microcontrollet to count each step(forward and backward). what happen if your motor turn fast? can microcontoller count encoder steps?
Of course you must ensure that the pulses don't come in too fast.
You could also use a 7-seg BCD.
+reinux ...if I had one ;-)
Maybe they need less clock cycles to display numbers. I will try those 7-segment BDCs in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
VERY VERY INFORMATIVE
can u share the code hat you used in 17:04 soft start and emergency stop
The sources of my videos are available on my project page:
homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en.htm
thank u alot
Really great man
Can I use a stepper motor or a regular DC motor with Arduino without using a motor driver/shield ?
I found few from a printer/scanner
You can't connect them directly. You must build an amplifying circuit or an H-Bridge to control motors, I made a video about "Pyhsical Computing" showing the basics:
ruclips.net/user/edit?o=U&video_id=9Qumu2h8FjY
More videos about creating and controlling DIY peripherals will follow.
Thank you by video. Good ideas for us.
Sandro Sachser You're welcome! Any ideas for me?
the old system is analog card designed with two types of resistance 1k for the feedback and 5k for the set point , I am not sure why ...I am trying to update the system with out replacing the servo motor as its attached to the governer with perfect fit
+marine yard Yes, a tight fit of the sensor servo is essential for precise movement. Maybe you must cut at least one of the pins to isolate the potentiometer from the old circuit.
Thanks a lot for your help
How did you remove the mirrored part of the CD? Do you know any chemical process?
Thanks.
No chemistry, just a sharp knife: Cut along the edges and scratch off the infield.
@@HomoFaciens Thanks
Very good video i love your ideas
***** Thanks! More ideas with an Arduino Uno will be turned into a video until the end of this week (hopefully).
+HomoFaciens hi.can you make a video IR arduino projects
***** There will be a video about communication between Computers / Microcontrollers sometime including a section about IR, but it won't be a straightforward HowTo for the Arduino. I guess there are already some great tutorials on RUclips or on the web, aren't they?
I need this code as you are sowing 06:12 controlling an H bridge, by rotating the encoder disk the other motor is rotating in the same direction and same speed.
Have a look at my page(s):
homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en.htm
it is really helpful video . i need more help from you. thank you
Oh you are greats Master...!!!
Would be awesome if you could make exact same video only showing software part of this.
You can't learn software by watching it - you must read the source code and try to understand the logic behind!
You can get the source on my project page:
homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en.htm
...and I will create chapters about "Physical Computing", explaining in more detail how my machines work - stay tuned!
yeah you right, i found most of the source code on your webpgae except the position controlling of the dc motor with pid. Do you mind to upload that code please
herantd
You should tell me exactly what project you are talking about. I have done multiple projects with postion controlling of DC motors. The one of this video is named wiper_motor_servo.zip
code for project that starts 11:48 and ends at 18:35
That's what I have implemented in the wiper_motor_servo.zip - not perfectly. I will go in more details when starting the physical computing series - stay tuned!
I need that control software, but, without the soft start, how can i eliminate the soft star of the software?
As told in the video and written in the video description box, got to the project page:
homofaciens.de/technics-computer-arduino-uno_en.htm
Nice Video sir.
Is it possible to design a PID control circuit similar to this using "state-space" methods programmed into the microcontroller?
The real question is, if this makes any sense for your application. Is there a reason why you think state-space would be an improvement over conventional PID control?
HomoFaciens
We learned the theory behind state-space methods years ago in college. We ran a SS simulation in MatLab for a motor control system. The tracking error reduction was supurb. I'm interested in trying it myself just to see if i can achieve the same results. I think it would be a great learning experience. There is no particular high accuracy application. I just want to drive a permanent magnet DC Motor using state space methods only for "academic" purposes
Definitely something worth trying. Share the results of your experiments. I will keep the solid state method in mind for future videos about control loops.
I seek information about how one would integrate a Heidenhain glass scale TTL output into the Arduino. I have seen videos on how the step count is replaced with real numbers that are incremented according to the direction that the Heidenhain is reporting. That is an easy concept.
However, I have not figured out nor have I seen anyone show how the TTL output for a 3 axis CNC can be put into the 3 axis output to the stepping motors. I understand that I need more input and output pins of the larger Arduino Mega 2560 R3 (It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs).
It seems daunting or perhaps I am just terrified by the problem. Can you show me one axis output (I have seen that) and one axis input (I have NOT seen this)? Do you have this information in one of your videos that I have obviously have not watched?
We bought an OpenBuilds C-Beam, and it became obvious that higher accuracy would be realized with minor changes that I have seen on large & expensive CNC machining centers, such as the glass scales. I have found that a Heidenhain set for 3 axis and a DRO can be purchased for ~~$300 which would increase the $1,000 value of the CNC machine tremendously.

+Louis DiFrancesco I don't have a Heidenhain linear sensor, nor a OpenBuilds C-Beam. Send me both and I might start coding, but don't expect to get it back ;-)
A high quality sensor doesn't necessarily improve the accuracy of a CNC as it doesn't eliminate backlash nor deflections of the mechanics. It won't turn your cheap machine into a tremendous CNC.
Arnoldino?
Hobby Electronics Don't kid terminating robots!
This is not Arnold. If this was Arnold then California would not be in such a mess.
Jokes aside-this is a very well done and informative.
Kelly Wes Kirkconnell Thanks! Passing information is the main intention of my channel and making every now and then a joke is okay ;)
hi
am looking for how to make dc motor as stepper motor step by step ?
any tube for that ?
thanks
I have written chapters about rotary encoders with sample circuits and codes:
homofaciens.de/technics-base-circuits-encoder-disc_en.htm
nice tutorial!
What is the software you are using for the system simulation?
I have used geany to write soma Java code for the animation sequences.
You are awesome!
