PID_Temperature_Controller

C/C++ multi-threaded code for PID temperature controller and logger with Teensy 4.1 microcontroller

P = Proportional (How fast the system responds)
I = Integral (Used to remove steady state error)
D = Derivative (Used to speed up the response of the system)

Schematic

PID Tuning recommendations:

Derivative can add noise to the system
Set I and D to zero then tune P
Tune I when satisfied with P controllers response D can be left at 0 if a PI controller is suitable for your needs
