Re: PID Control

We are using PI control at low speeds, implemented using the hall-effects in the Kit.

It works quite smoothly, but somehow ours stops tracking at about 60% PWM output. However, at that point, PI has relatively few advantages. The tricky part was a smooth transition from closed loop to open loop drive at the 60% mark.
