Hello,
I have somewhat minimal experience tuning PID systems. Ive done a small servo controlled camera gantry. In the process of tuning sometimes the camera would flail around wildly but it was okay due to how small and safe the system was. Im now faced with another system thats much larger and cant really be simulated easily so Im curious how PID is tuned for potentially dangerous systems. If I wanted to make a simulation it would take quite a while to set it up. Do you have any reading material that would help me learn about how the pros do it? Currently I know a little about how the values are related and how they affect each other but Im not quite experienced enough to apply it without the 'change this and see what happens method' which doesnt fly with something like a rocket or nuclear reactor lol.
