This post takes a look at the PID Controller, which is widely used in robotics for providing more accurate motions of any moving parts on a robot. We will go through some basic control theory to give a better understanding of what a PID controller is, then look at each of the P, I, and D terms to develop a more intuitive understanding of the controller. From there, you should be able to use the controller in your own projects.

This is the second part of the "ROS2 Control with the JetBot" series, where I show you how to get a JetBot working with ROS2 Control! This is a sequel to the part 1 blog post, where I showed how to drive the JetBot's motors using I²C and PWM with code written in C++.

In this post, I show the next step in making ROS2 Control work with the WaveShare JetBot - wrapping the motor control code in a System. I'll walk through some concepts, show the example repository for ROS2 Control implementations, and then show how to implement the System for JetBot and see it running.
