PID stand for Proportional, Integral, Derivative. This is a mathematical way to control something physical. Some examples include: maintaining a drones altitude, the cruise control on your car, thermostats, and much more!

In this scene you have the controls to what I basically consider a 1 dimensional drone. By changing the gain and max values you can change the way the drone reaches its target. What really interested me initially was the fact that the thruster has no idea how much the drone weighs, but with this control method it is able to hover.

I highly recommend watching this YouTube video to get a better understanding of how this all works.

WOW! This is an excellent demonstration of PID control! I had fun changing the gains and watching how the adjustments affect how the little rocket behaves, and how quickly it moves to a different level with minimum overshoot.

I have one suggestion: I noticed when clicking on any of the controls it required two clicks. That issue can be fixed by placing the following script into the "upDate" text box of any object in the scene:

app.gui.playMode = sim.running

Of course you need to add that script between the curly brackets that's already there. What that does is to place the scene into "Play Mode" when the scene is running, and "edit mode" when the scene is paused. I think you will like it!

Thank you Xray! Scene is now updated. Good idea.

I have a question, how can you add a color palette window that edits the color of an object with scripting, not clicks?

42flowermaster, I'm not sure what you mean. There are a lot of ways to change the color of an object with scripts.

homieeee - When you change the color of an object manually, you right click and then select "Appearance." Then, it will open a window that allows the user to change the color of the object. I want to do the same (open that window), but with scripts, not clicks.

Scene.addWidget {
widgetID := "ColorOptions";
entityIDs := [36];
title := "Box";
minimized := false;
pos := [760.00000, 98.000000];
size := [266.00000, 622.00000];
visible := true;
snappedParentMin := [false, false];
snappedParentMax := [false, false]
}

Note: The etityIDs property above must be set to the entity of interest.

OK. This scene is awesome. It must have taken quite a while to build (~ 6 years?).
