The PID controller is integral for making the control system portion applicable to real world scenarios. Since it abstracts such a nuanced process, its results and performance must be verifiable. The PID controller portion will be verified by controlling a water heater in an on-off fashion to maintain water temperature. A submersible water thermometer will be used so that the control system portion may be tested as a whole.

Benchmarks / Goals

• Proper documentation for PID internals
• PID Autotuning
• PID avoids overshooting when setpoint changes
• Detection of oscillation and steady state for PID
• TUI for visualize log playback, and configure parameters.
