Drone Simulation and Control, Part 2: How Do You Get a Drone to Hover?

In the last video, we showed we can manipulate the four motors of a quadcopter to maneuver it in 3D space by getting it to roll, pitch, yaw, and change its thrust. We also covered the four...

Peter Ponders PID - Root Locus Is Useless

Root Locus is almost worthless. Knowing where the poles are as only 1 gain is changed is not very useful since one only has a limited choices on response. ... See More

Solving the Heat Equation with the Fourier Transform

This video describes how the Fourier Transform can be used to solve the heat equation. In fact, the Fourier transform is a change of coordinates into the eigenvector coordinates for the...
