Re: How to tune a PID loop?
It is not going to be very useful testing the a PID loop on without some kind of realistic feedback. The way errors build up is very reliant upon the type of feedback, gains that may be proper for one application could very well be totally wrong on another. It all depends on your system.

If you are using PID control for positional purposes (i.e an arm) I would follow the above.
We found that if you are doing velocity control PD usually works fairly well
