    PID regulator parameters for a known process

    Hey thanks for answer. First, system shuts down at 100°C, because I turn down the oven. I didn't want to cause any damage, nor wait too long. Second, time is in seconds, not milliseconds. Once you I the 60% of the full scale, and the best fit towards zero and than subtract delay time, that is...

    PID regulator parameters for a known process

    Hello guys, I'm beginner in automatics and could use your advice. So, I'm designing a PID regulator for oven and right now I'm trying to tune the Kp, Ki and Kd parameters. The oven has nice step response that gets easily approximated by the PT1 system with the dead time delay. The system to...

    [AVR] How to program AVR uCs without Arduino IDE but using Arduino as ISP?

    So, basically I need very fast solution cause I have no time to wait for real programmer, as USBtiny. I have Arduino Duemillanove and I know I can use it as an ISP. I already used it to burn the arduino bootloader on my Atmega8. The problem is, I have a source code in c++ that needs to end up...

    GSM module SIM900A and Arduino

    Nope... I can communicate nicely via serial port using AT comands. The LED lamp which should indicate successful connection to the network does not behave like it is connected (it should blink every second if there is no connection and every 3 sec if there is one. I get blink every second)

    GSM module SIM900A and Arduino

    Instead of buying "normal" GSM module that is used for Arduino, I purchased this **broken link removed**. It seemed cheaper and easier to work with. I connected voltage supply and RX/TX pins and started playing with it. But for some reason it doesn't want to estabilish connection with my GSM...

    [Theoretical question] Reflection at the input of the amplifier

    Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. But then again, in most of the low frequency electronics, in.e. audio cirucuits, input of the amplifier is never matched to the TXLine, but we see no such effects as reduction of the amplitude at the output. I know that people will say that on low frequency...

    [Theoretical question] Reflection at the input of the amplifier

    But why? Shouldn't all energy from the source be reflected back from the amplifier?

    [Theoretical question] Reflection at the input of the amplifier

    So, imagine signal propagating through the 50 Ohm coax cable (TXLine) on which end there is simple transistor amplifier with really high input impedance. Unmatched, as you can imagine. What I know is that reflection is gonna happen on this end and signal will return to the TXLine. What will I...

    Logarithmic Scale Conversion

    Yeah, you're right. I didnt pay good attention on what you wrote above.

    Logarithmic Scale Conversion

    Yeah, i also came up with 0.67 for alcohol. But why do you use negative coefficients? I mean, y = 0.67/sqrt(x) works fine for me.

    Logarithmic Scale Conversion

    Solved it! Thanks for advice. but if somebody wants to know, I used analytic approximation y = C/sqrt(x),

    MQ@ Gass Sensor PPM Calculation

    I totally agree. Sensor is good only for ON/OFF functions, and only for one substance, I'd say

    Logarithmic Scale Conversion

    Thanks for answer Brad! But, could you be so nice and provide me some explanation of why is this method legitimate? Or, link some references if it's easier for you.

    MQ@ Gass Sensor PPM Calculation

    Glad I could help. Regarding precision, well this type of the sensor is not very sophisticated...though it can give you rough estimation which is quite useful in some applications.

    MQ@ Gass Sensor PPM Calculation

    I think he plans to measure only one substance's concentration. Anyway, bilal, I haven't worked with MQ-2, but I have some experience with MQ-3, and I think they are the same type of sensor. How to work with it - first you need to find the resistance of the sensor in gas free environment, and...
