Re: PID line follower vex

I think what Jacob is asking for is a method to have the PID not run if the joystick value is 0. If there is no tolerance, the PID loop will try to tune a value of 0 on the drivetrain, which does take unnecessary processor power. One thing I would do is set a limit, maybe + or - 0.1 on the joystick. Once this value is exceeded, then the PID loop could start running.
