running the code and the simple provided example issue

[hamedhkme]

I am going to use simple-pid algorithm. I have installed simple-pid, however, according to the script below I need to have a “controlled_system” that I am not sure what it is. I am wondering if you could help me with that.

############################################################ from simple_pid import PID pid = PID(1, 0.1, 0.05, setpoint=1)

Assume we have a system we want to control in controlled_system

v = controlled_system.update(0)

while True:

Compute new output from the PID according to the systems current value

control = pid(v)

# Feed the PID output to the system and get its current value
v = controlled_system.update(control)

########################################################### Also, I tried to figure out the algorithm through the water_boiler example, and for that one, I could not rerun it. I would appreciate it if you could help.

Well the controlled system is where you want to use the PID controller to regulate something. So the "Plant / process" from the following diagram from wikipedia:

As explained in the comment above, the controlled system is whatever "thing" that you want to control using the PID controller.

As shown by @mrakitin in his PR, the example does run successfully in CI. If you have a specific problem with running the example, please provide some more information of what goes wrong and we can try to help.
