Keeping with the thread topic, I think this is the key. For the cost of
only one more cheap sensor you gain a lot. Harder design as you say but
getting help on-line seems to be free.
I have gotten PID to work myself with linear systems (motor speed) and I
reading up on Kalman Filters as I need them for navigation using multiple
sensors.
I guess one could use the crystal frequency as a measure of its temperature
to tune the system. Is there a name to Google to read up on using two
sensors and a pid-like algorithm?
