Re: PID drive paramiters?

does the motor operate properly open loop?
yes it does


what's the motor connected to?
black Jag PWM


is the encoder signal going to the Jag or the DS?
Digital Sidecar


what PID are you using?
PIDController


what value of setpoint are you using?
every few seconds, it alternates between 0, and 0.3


how did you scale the value of the encoder?
what ever the default is. that there could be the problem, but i am unsure. i could post the code if you want.


what does this mean: "we range the up and up and up"?
sorry, i fixed that later. we ranged the P value up and up. nothing seemed to change. we are further trouble shooting my getting the exact Jag value.

tell me if you need anything else ^_^ thanks again.
