Re: PID Controller Help on Tote Lifting Mechanism
The PID does not calculate output based solely on distance to the setpoint(error). The I gain accumulates the error over time and the D gain adds to the output based on the rate of change of the error. Are your I and D gains currently set to 0? If so, you should try giving them a nonzero value and go from there.
