Why it's here

HN links it with timestamps as an early, hands-on demo of control theory and as a curiosity from Davis's work.

What it covers

Terry Davis, author of TempleOS, demonstrates his SimStructure physics simulator and builds a PID controller using math from Numerical Recipes in C. The description notes PID controllers are used in everything from rockets to espresso machines.
