Re: Bench top setup for demonstrating PID

Speed control is the goal. The fan idea is a good one. Right now we're using a CIM motor with a gear reduction and wheel attached, but I'm looking to go to a smaller BaneBots motor once I work out how to connect the US Digital encoder up to it.

I'm outputting the encoder values and current Jaguar value to the Smart Dashboard to monitor things.
