Re: Arcade Drive with Speed PID?

From my experience, it will be most effective in the long run to completely create your own form of the drive code, it can still take in the inputs from the joysticks as Arcade Drive does, however you can take the values and figure out a PID setpoint and run the PID algorithm to calculate your motor speeds.

Joystick->PID->SpeedController

If you need any help with any of this I am very experienced with writing custom drive codes for robots, feel free to send me a message if you need help...
