Re: Help Setting Up PID System for Tank Drive Train

Ether,

how about a code sample to connect the cRIO to the internal PID of the Jaguar? The WindRiver user's guide has no text in the serial interface section, and nothing for digital control of a Jaguar. Also, is there code for the SmartDashboard to monitor and control the PID parameters and monitor the speed and drive voltage outputs? We would like to use the internal Jaguar PID, but have not yet found a way to control it through the robot.

Mike

You must use CAN bus (instead of PWM) to control the Jags if you want to use their built-in PID.
