Re: We are trying to set up PID

I am also part of this team. We understand the theory of the PID loop, but are having a hard time understanding if our application is correct. We have a PID loop to rotate the robot with a gyro to a set point and the PID works fine it that situation. At least with a tolerance of about 5 degrees. But getting the encoders to rotate at a constant speed is the issue. We are wondering, if there is an issue with how we are getting our rate. If our rate is outputting a value that makes sense. Why our PID loop does not reach our setpoint.
