Hi,
Even it seems it is an easier project, based on my experience I can say it will take more time than expected and working remotely is also time consumer. So this is the reason my bid is bigger.
Currently I am using the PID control to command a car motor for constant RPMs.
It was difficult to have it running. It took a lot to find some correct parameters.
Let me know if you want to discuss this setup over Skype, or here if the site beta version for calls is really working now.
I am CLD certified and Labview trainer in the company I am working for. Please check my profile here.
Regards,
Nicolae
