    This document provides information about implementing a PID controller function that is called every 5 seconds to calculate a new output value for the controller. It reads actual temperature values every second, filters them, and passes them to the PID function. The PID parameters like Kc, Ti, Td, and Ts can be adjusted through the GUI. An initialization function calculates necessary constants before the first call to the PID function to improve efficiency.

    about this implementation:
    This function is called once every TS seconds, with Ts being set to 5 seconds in my brewing program. It means that a new value for the PID controller output is
    calculated every 5 seconds.
     The actual temperatures are read in every second. These temperatures are filtered and then passed to this function (as xk).
     The values of Kc, Ti, Td and Ts can be adjusted by the brewer (see the GUI section on the software page).
     The extension _1 to several variables (e.g. xk_1, lpf_1) indicates the previous version of that variable. For example: xk_1 means the value of xk during the
    previous call to this function (5 seconds ago). Same with the extension _2 (which was the value 2 * 5 seconds ago).
    Please let me know if you find this listing easy or difficult to read. I would be interested to hear about it.

    Before the first call to this function, it should be initialised. For this reason, I created a pid_init() function, that calculates the value of the necessary constants. If
    you observe the PID controller closely, you can see various improvements. For example: the I-term calculates the value of Kc * Ts / Ti every time again. This is
    not necessary, because you can calculate this once in the pid_init() function and then use it in the PID controller function (saves computing time).
