By the way, we’ve covered a PID library for Arduino before. While this post talks about temperature, PID control is used for everything from flight control to levitation.

The project is powered by an Arduino Uno connected to four steppers motors, drivers and a linkage system to keep the ball in motion. Some words about how this PID controlled ball and plate works: ...

Why this hasn't been done before is a mystery to me. This little hack project by Kellbot of NYCResistor takes a rolling ball, an optical mouse, a gutted PS2 controller, and some Arduino hacking ...
