Re: Tuning PID Constants Over a Range

For example we can tune gyroTurn(5) to turn 5 degrees, but those constants don't work for gyroTurn(25). Are we doing something wrong? or are we supposed to create different sets of constants for ranges of the angle?
Do you have a maximum velocity (or throttle) limitation in your code? If not, the constants used for 5 degree turns will likely cause substantial overshoot for 25 degree turns.
