No one I talk to today will give a shit about this, so I will post it here. Today I programmed a proportional feedback loop to control the pressure build rate of a hydraulic piston from the travel rate of an electronic actuator given dubious initial conditions. (electric autonomous brake applier controlled via CAN) A good place to end a Friday. Remember, if anyone tells you that you will never need math, you hit them right in the face. Time for a beer!

oh that sounds fun. (mech-eng in training here)
what application?

Hoorah for Calculus and Diff Eq!

no integral or derivative control?

“No one I talk to today will give a shit about this, so I will post it here.”
Pretty much sums up my oppo postings as well.

No, i didnt really need it and I don’t really know how to do it in the scripting language I am using for CAN communication.

Testing of an automated braking system. The control was so that I could accurately meet the pressure build rates of a test profile. Fun times. I can’t really go into application specifics.

Its only proportional control so no calculus, but hooray for them indeed.

hmm. interesting.
so your working for tesla and getting the car to slow down after some idiot sets the auto pilot to 100mph? nice
miadaman? yes please

I saw initial condition and thought solving IVPs for diff eq.

No, not working for Tesla. Tesla doesn’t make their own brake boosters. :-) I am very familiar with the tesla brake booster.

uuugh, flashbacks..... Please not IVPs.
