Re: Thread scheduler for PID period control ?

What is your CPU usage when doing the 15ms PID and the rest of your robot code? It is on the charts tab.

If you make it easy to change the period of the PID, you can decrease it and watch the CPU. This will also help understand whether the PID loop is waiting on I/O or CPU bound. Again, it may be useful to know the time spent within the PID routine, so if you add your getFPGA timing to the top and bottom of the function and display that delta as well.
