# Feature: PID Controller
**Status**: ✅ COMPLETED (2025-10-24)
**Implementation Summary**:
- ✅ PIDController struct with beta1, beta2, beta3 coefficients and error history
- ✅ Full Controller trait implementation with progressive bootstrap (P → PI → PID)
- ✅ Constructor methods: new(), default(), for_order()
- ✅ Reset method for clearing error history
- ✅ Comprehensive test suite with 9 tests including PI vs PID comparisons
- ✅ Exported in prelude
- ✅ Complete documentation with mathematical formulation and usage guidance
## Overview
The PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) step size controller is an advanced adaptive time-stepping controller that provides better stability and efficiency than the basic PI controller, especially for difficult or oscillatory problems.
