Re: Setting Mechanism Position with Button
Can you provide more details on the mechanism that you are trying to control? Is it a requirement that the PID loop runs then quits?

An arm on a motor for example should probably keep the PID loop running. Position control on a drive train probably shouldn't, or if you must change to 'manual' (open loop) control.

In the case you describe, how do you decide when your PID loop is 'done'. Is a timer like in FRC358's example sufficient?
