Virtual PID Loop Servomotor
By
A collaborative project done with two other people in which a DC motor was converted into a servomotor by implementing a virtual PID control loop using feedback potentiometers and an arduino uno. The servomotor was tested with differing weight loads and by measuring and graphing current through it during operation.
