Re: WPILib PID controller object

Hi Brad...

This approach works great if your source is already pre-defined to be a PID source, but what about the situation ( such as an autotracking turret) where the source value will be an X offset from the middle of the image? Do we have to derive a new PIDSource object and implement any/all needed functions? The effort is compounded by the fact that the image offset is a relative number and would be hard to relate to an absolute turret positioning value.
