Re: PID with encoder

By shakes (shacks?), do you mean that the motor just reciprocates but doesn't make any net revolution, or that it goes in the right direction but have a shake riding on top of that?

If it's the first, you may want to try swapping your encoder channels.

If it's the second, check for loose connections, especially on the encoder but also on the power.
