Re: How to tune a PID loop?

Thanks. I rigged up the follow-up pot to the shaft of a window motor and tried out the loop. COOL! Playing with I gain can really cause overshoot and wild oscillations! Can't wait to try tuning it on the robot with it's dynamics. BTW, i'm using a bourns follow-up pot that has continous rotation, no stops. Nice pots.
