Re: Tuning PID Code

I am facing this challenge too, except PID code is controlling the position and elevation of our turret, plus its steering and autonomous mode.

There is no one in my area who has responded with any PID experience except those that use it for temperature control.

This leaves me with many questions about the best way to do PID control, like how long should the I values stick around? For something like controlling the spin (yaw) of a turret, should I even use I, or switch to PD?

Eagerly waiting,
