2 | | -PID controller implementation in C for general use |
| 1 | +# **PID Controller** |
| 2 | +Tiny, fast, and portable **PID controller in C** for embedded systems. |
| 3 | +Designed for deterministic, low-overhead control loops with optional feed-forward, filtered derivative, and robust anti-windup. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## ✨ Features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- **P + I + D (on measurement)** → no setpoint kick; derivative operates on the measured value. |
| 8 | +- **First-order LPF on D** → configurable cutoff frequency, state reset to avoid startup spikes. |
| 9 | +- **Single saturation point** → only the final output is clamped, ensuring predictable behavior. |
| 10 | +- **Back-calculation anti-windup** → integral state unwinds quickly when saturated. |
| 11 | +- **Feed-forward input** for model-based enhancements. |
| 12 | +- **Precomputed gains** → `Ki*Ts` and `Kd/Ts` calculated once at init for minimal runtime math. |
| 13 | +- **Instance-based API** → multiple controllers supported, either dynamically or statically allocated. |
| 14 | +- **MIT Licensed**. |
