No, Kp is the proportional gain term. It's a value which is multiplied by the measured error. Where "error" is your desired position (input into the PID controller) minus actual measured position.
I would suggest reading up on PID controllers, and learn at least at a high level how they operate before attempting to use one on your robot.
Some helpful links:
PID without a PHD (pdf) a good overview of how different controllers work
PID Tuning This one will help you choose your gains.
That said, you can turn x number of degrees using the gyro without a PID controller. A simple implementation is provided below.
If you have never used a PID controller before, it may be easier to implement a simple algorithm like what is below, then itterate on the design to improve the performance problems you identify.
Sudocode (this needs to be run in a loop in a simple robot project, or have supporting state variables in an itterative or command based robot project (to flag when you're finished)
Code:
//Positive angle is roatation clockwise
//currentAngle is the angle measured off the gyro
//destinationAngle is the desired angle to rotate to
//forwardSpeed and reverseSpeed are variables between 1.0 and -1.0, the larger they are the faster you will turn.
// making one the negative of the other will
if ( abs(currentAngle) >= abs(destinationAngle)) {
//we're there, stop turning
drivetrain.tankdrive(0,0)
} else if ( destinationAngle > currentAngle) {
//rotate clockwise
drivetrain.tankDrive(reverseSpeed, forwardSpeed);
} else {
//rotate counter-clockwise
drivetrain.tankDrive(forwardSpeed, reverseSpeed)
}
Note, this code could (Read will) overshoot its destination. Depending on your intended applicaiton this may or may not be a desireable feature.
