For those curious about how the LV PID constants work, I'll quote a previous post of mine explaining it...

Here's the overall function:


The P component (Kc * error):


I [(Kc / Ti)integral(e)]:


D (Kc * Td * d(error)/dt ):




So, if you take a simple version of the formula like below...

Then:
Kp = Kc
Ki = Kc / Ti
Kd = Kc * Td
