Re: PID Without Direction - How?

Our team is just flat-out shutting the motors off once we are at/past our goal--if the feedback loop is tweaked well, you will settle in pretty closely and a bit of overshoot should not hurt anything.

As far as assuming direction, I don't think so. I can't honestly imagine software being useful here. If you absolutely need direction, you might consider using an encoder instead.
