You're supposed to be repurposing the controller into a reporter. Since you don't need control, you can instead just use the PID portion of the PID controller.
But you can also attach an actual automatic control for when the sensor reports a positive traffic influx prediction value.
And I think stuff like Kubernetes includes this feature. Go figure.
- polishdude20 3y agoWhat value does the reporter report? Isn't it just a measurement? In which case you don't need a PID?
- makerdiety 3y agoIt's a sensor that informs its users of it how much control is needed for a networked server that can experience volatility in the form of network traffic spikes. The numerical calculus from PID controllers helps provide that crucial information. A bang-bang controller would, for example, provide very sub-optimal control, as volatility doesn't work under simple on-and-off models.
