Re: PID control loops - feedback is our friend!!!

So I should initially set pid to zero?

After testing the code this evening I found that the arm model that we are using was behaving more like a joystick than a model. I'd move it forward and the arm would move forward - but never stop at a certain place, move it back to neutral and it would stop, move it backward from neutral and the arm would go the opposite direction - once again not stopping at the desired position.
Any pointers?
