PID Control
In this video, we learn how to find some quantifiable measures of speed, stability, and accuracy from the time response of the rack and pinion.  We measure rise time, peak time, settling time, overshoot, and steady-state error.  We make these measurements for three values of Kp in our proportional control, and we note the trends in these values for increasing or decreasing values of Kp.
In this video, we find the proportional gain that gives a 'critically damped' response of the rack and pinion.  We do this experimentally by trying a gain, calculating the characteristics of the step response, then increasing or decreasing the gain appropriately.
