Re: Programming Motors for Arm

Ok...what on earth does the PID control actually do?

And I set up some quick code on a blank VI that I think will do what I want it to do which is basically take 1/4th the speed of the joystick and set the motors to run at that speed. This is for fine-tuning of the arm position if we have the presets working. The image is attached.

And when I wire the potentiometer is the signal wire supposed to go to the analog card on the ccRIO>
