Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations on the development process for tuning a PID in simulation versus in reality, and what the process might look like in transferral between the two?

The current project is an inverted pendulum, and while I've got the hardware lined out, specs included, I don't want to destroy my equipment trying to tune the PID.  If there's a way that I could do this with a simulation, and then migrate the algorithms/tunings over, that would be very helpful in terms of time and expenses.

I do understand though that simulation and realworld aren't 1:1, and so it is with that that I ask if anyone has any good ideas or an established process that works well for this?

Thanks,

Bobby
