Re: P.I.D. Control for the arm

Your P gain (multiplier) is too large. Reduce it until it gets there with little overshoot. (No overshoot is not as easy to compensate for as a little bit of overshoot)

There is an excellent whitepaper on how to tune a PID loop called PID without a PhD, look it up and it'll explain it very well.
