hardware and software implementation required

in the los angeles area to help me with programming. 20 hrs a week.

Hello, I am currently working on a heating control project that uses an Arduino board and a motor-controlled valve to regulate the flow of hot water from a primary circuit to a secondary circuit. The primary circuit is connected to a source of hot water (fernwärme/district heating) that maintains a temperature between 60 and 120 degrees, and a permanent pump that can not be controlled or regulated. The secondary circuit is also connected to a constant-speed pump and the goal is to maintain a temperature of about 40 degrees. I have implemented a basic control logic using switch cases and if-else statements, but I am having trouble getting the system to accurately regulate the temperature of the secondary circuit. I have read that using a PID controller can help improve the performance...
