Re: Auto-Aligning in Teleop

Teleop executes every time a control packet from the driver station is received. Between network latency and other things, this tends to cause inconsistency in the timing between packets (jitter). This jitter causes issues with control loops. Instead, place your PID control loop in Periodic Tasks (if LabView) or an equivalent separate running periodic process if using Java/C++.
