Re: Talon Stable RPM Check

The big question is whether four queries is enough to demonstrate stability. Plot the curves of your motor speed response over time to determine whether your system is underdamped (oscillates, though eventually converges) or critically or overdamped (does not oscillate). If you are critically or overdamped, your plan is proably adequate. If your system oscillates, measure the period of that oscillation (in terms of feedback counts), and make sure that your stability criterion includes at least that many samples.
