Re: Tuning PID Code

Mr. Elston, first off, what an amazing idea. Our team had nightmares tuning last year, we didn't get the values right until Atlanta! (albeit, we didn't have much testing time before hand anyway)

I was wondering if this would work equally as well if the POTs were connected to the OI kind of like joysticks. I ask because I want to be able to tune the drive PID system and give it to our driver to see how he likes it. Based on this feedback I can retune and he can test again. Or I can teach him what they P, I, D means, and just get him to tune it to his liking. I don't see any obvious reason why this wouldn't work, but I might be missing something. Thanks very much for this time saving idea!!!
