The first of the DRONE MACHINES, entitled Throttles, is a dual pitch controller with force feeback and autopilot options. The two handles are geared to two high torque dc motors with quadrature encoder feedback. Each operates under a standard adjustable gain PID control algorithm which engages force feedback at designated points (set by a panel switch). The PID also allows motions or pitch sequences to be “recorded” and then replayed by the robotic system, much like an autopilot function in aviation. This is not to be confused with sampling, where the audio is actually recorded and replayed.
