Regardless of what controller changes are made, I propose that FIRST publish a generic PID control mudule (PID = Proportional Integral Derivative).

The current controller is not powerful enough (in my opinion) or fast enough to implement a robust PID control routine.

I propose that the module would have do all the hard work and allow the users (like us) to set the gains for the propotional, integral and derivative feedback loops.

There are well know methods for determining the gains for PID control (I will pull together a PID controller primer if someone will develop the code).

If teams have well behaved feedback routines available, I think that many robot arms would be MUCH better behaved.

Am I the only one out here who can't stand to see these herky-jerky robot arms out there?

Give me robust feedback.

Joe J.
