Re: Acceleration based on position

If you reverse your decision and want to use PIDs, you may want to consider joystick control where some input takes the elevator between a few known height set points -- say floor, lower peg, feed slot, middle peg, upper peg.

For more control, if the driver presses and holds a button, the joystick value is sent directly to the motor. OR you can make it to where this mode changes the set point.
