Whoops! "What is the problem you are trying to solve?" I'm trying to solve the fact that PID does not appreciate that I am going to feed a curved joystick input according to
literature I have found
"Are you talking about autonomous mode or teleop?" This is in teleop
"Why do you think it should be smoother?" I think it should be smooth because our drivers have difficulty aiming with a linear joystick input. Again, jumpiness.
"I understand why a non-linear joystick curve can help with a jumpy robot, but I do not understand why you want to do PID speed control." This year our robot is using a mecanum drive train. Right now I observe that our robot's wheels don't spin at the same speed depending on how even the terrain is, and this is a problem when we are rotating/strafing. I want to implement speed control in order to keep our wheels at the outputs we are feeding them instead of having a messed up strafe/rotation function.
Thanks, and I apologize for any miscommunication.
