Re: PIDs out of control
(OP on a fellow programmers computer here)
We are using 5-turn potentiometers and they are only intended to rotate 180 degrees maximum. We try to make sure that the pots are set to rotate near the middle of each ones range so as to avoid over rotating them if they go a little bit beyond the desired setpoint.
We are using the PotentiometerGetNormalized.vi to get our values, which return as a percentage of the total voltage, we have found. So, we are trying to return 3-4 decimal accuracy on each potentiometer.
So, I'm not sure if our program trying to reach this accuracy is hitting the pots' "blind spot" or not, because I'm not absolutely sure what that means.
