Abstract

This research presents the implementation of a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller to control the angular speed of a Direct Current (DC) motor using an embedded system (microcontroller). The system’s hardware consists of an Arduino microcontroller, a DC motor with an encoder sensor, a driver motor, and a power supply. Proportional control regulates the response proportionally to the calculated error, while integral control manages the cumulative error over time, and derivative control responds to the rate of change of the error, preventing overshoot. With a proper combination, PID control achieves stability, speeds up response, and reduces overshoot, improving overall system performance. Based on experimental data, the DC motor angular speed control system using PID control achieves the best results, in which the parameter values are Kp=1; Ki=0.3; and Kd=0.6. The augmented system responded with 0.0890 seconds of the rise time, 11.772 seconds of settling time, and 0.12 seconds of the peak time, with an overshoot of less than 10% (7%).
