Re: 2012: Tuning the Jaguar's Speed Control PID Loop
After another day of working on this...

I'm back to my opinion from 2011:

The Jaguars desperately need a Feed-Forward implementation in its speed control PID loop.

Everything else we've tried has seemed like a messy workaround which just won't give us as tight control as we want for either our drivetrain or shooter.

Are there any active Jaguar firmware developers from TI who are on ChiefDelphi who we can reach out to?

Right now, this feature is a) what is stopping me from recommending the Jags to our area's mid to upper tier teams, and b) a pretty standard speed control feature, which should be included in any speed PID controller worth its weight.
