Interactive PID Controller Simulator
Drag P, I and D and watch the system settle, overshoot or oscillate in real time.

✅ Smooth convergence — this is what real engineers tune for
Drag the sliders to retune the controller. The cyan line is the robot trying to reach the dashed target. What is PID?
What you can do here
- Drag each gain and see overshoot, settling time and steady-state error change live
- Watch what happens when D is too high and the system starts chattering
- Find the difference between a fast-but-unstable and a slow-but-safe tune
