Re: Using PID for traction control (help!)

I would have to see more more of your code to tell for sure, but by your description it sounds like your loop just needs some tuning. The spinning in circles is classic PID overshoot.

We use a box with 3 pots (one for P, I, and D) so we can tune without reloading the code.
