 * @section DESCRIPTION
 * 
 * A PID controller is a widely used feedback controller commonly found in
 * industry.
 *
 * This library is a port of Brett Beauregard's Arduino PID library:
 *
 *  http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Code/PIDLibrary
 *
 * The wikipedia article on PID controllers is a good place to start on
 * understanding how they work:
 *
 *  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PID_controller
 *
 * For a clear and elegant explanation of how to implement and tune a
 * controller, the controlguru website by Douglas J. Cooper (who also happened
 * to be Brett's controls professor) is an excellent reference:
