Re: PID Control

I am actually using the default PID algorithm given to us by FIRST. It has done its job well for me. I use the velocity controler for driver interface. I actually makes the driving much smoother and easy to control. I am also using the position controller for autonomous. I have had great succes with both.

One of our member's father is actually a professor of control algorithm at UC Davis so he went over all of the code with me. For calibration ease, he actually had me make the kD = 0. I've kept it that way and it catually seems to work just fine. So, in reality, I am using a PI algorithm.
