Once you’ve tuned your first virtual PID loop in Tinkercad, moving to a physical Arduino with a real thermistor and relay becomes a matter of copying the exact same code. That is the real power: Try it yourself: log into Tinkercad → Circuits → Create new design → Start coding PID today.
// Read setpoint from potentiometer (map to 20°C - 100°C) int potVal = analogRead(setpointPin); setpoint = map(potVal, 0, 1023, 20, 100); tinkercad pid control
// Compute PID myPID.Compute();
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(heaterPin, OUTPUT); Once you’ve tuned your first virtual PID loop
// Create PID object PID myPID(&input, &output, &setpoint, Kp, Ki, Kd, DIRECT); setpoint = map(potVal
