PID

[shadowops06]

Hello, I am trying to find a PID code for the vex system and not having any luck. Does anyone have a code that will work or a resource I could use to find it.

Hi, this (http://www.embedded.com/2000/0010/0010feat3.htm) is a good place to start.

Note that PID is just a mathematical formula that calculates what the real-time output value (e.g., for a motor output) should be. You just write a formula and the Vex controller does the math. Yes, as easy as it sounds.

There's also a white paper (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1823) here which will help you get started.

Can you take a piece of code from this website and modify it to suit the vex controller.

This year we controlled our shooter wheel speed and turret position with code adapted from it.

ooops.....my apologies to Don Rotolo. Somehow I missed that he already posted the same link I did. ....now where did I put that reminder for that eye exam?
