Re: Gyro sensor for VEX
This is a duplicate of my reply in another thread:
You can implement just about any sort of feedback loop in EasyC (PID is not the only form of feedback-loop control algorithm).
As the algorithm gets more complex, you will want to switch to EasyC Pro because the icons and flowcharts of ordinary EasyC become to bulky and hard to read/maintain.
Up until you stumble over some way to confuse the EasyC compiler. the only limits are the speed of the computer you are using, and its storage capacity. You are far more likely to have trouble with either of those before EasyC will fail you.
Go to the www.VexForum.com web pages and do a search there. There are discussions and sample code for implementing feedback loops to follow lines.
