Re: help with labview camera target tracking with turret needed

Moving the whole robot to aim at the target is pretty difficult since there is a lot of friction to overcome, and lots of momentum once it moves. A turret is/should be easier.

If you are calculating the amount to turn the turret, close the loop using an encoder or potentiometer. A PID may be a nice way to do it, but depending on the gearing and mass, you may be able to start with just P.

What area is causing the problem.
